What are DNA base pairing rules?
100
Considered to be the father of genetics.
Who was Gregor Mendel?
100
Connect the deoxyribose (sugar) molecules together along the DNA backbone.
What are phosphate molecules?
100
Phenotype of all offspring in a cross between two homozygous recessive rabbits (bb) with white fur.
What is white fur?
100
Word that means "child" or "next generation".
What is offspring?
200
Heriditary material found in the nucleus of a cell that controls all activities of a cell and provides instructions for making proteins.
What is DNA.
200
In 1953, these two young scientists discovered the structure of DNA.
Who are Watson and Crick?
200
Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, and Thymine
What are the nitrogen bases found in DNA?
200
Genotype of all offspring in a cross between a homozygous dominant rabbit with black fur (BB) and a homozygous recessive rabbit (bb) with white fur.
What is Bb?
200
Scientific tool that can be used to determine the possible genetic outcome of offspring.
What is a Punnett square?
300
Sugar, phosphate, and base
What three parts make up DNA?
300
Was able to make a two dimensional X-ray diffraction of DNA. It is believed to have aided Watson and Crick in making the actual discovery of DNA's double helix structure.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
300
Shape of the DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
300
Percentage of black rabbit offspring in a cross between homozygous dominant rabbit (BB) with black fur and a homozygous recessive rabbit (bb) with white fur.
What is 100 percent?
300
DNA packed structures on which genes are located.
What are chromosomes?
400
Variations in living things
What is caused by their differences in DNA?
400
Many people were betting that this scientist would be the first to discover the structure of DNA. His prediction about the structure was actually very close. He thought that the structure was a triple-helix. He did much scientific work at Oxford University in England and Cal-Polytechnic University in Pasadena, California.
Who is Linus Pauling?
400
Sugar found in DNA
What is deoxyribose?
400
Percent of the offspring with the genotype (BB) in a genetic cross between a heterozygous black rabbit (Bb) and a homozygous recessive white rabbit (bb).
What is 0 percent?
400
Two different forms of the same gene.
What are alleles?
500
The complete chemical name of DNA.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
500
Found that the amount of adenine in DNA always equals the amount of thymine, and the amount of guanine always equals the amount of cytosine.
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
500
The three subunits of the DNA molecule.
What are sugar, phosphate, and base?
500
Percentage of white rabbits expected in a cross between a homozygous recessive rabbit (bb) and a Heterozygous rabbit (Bb) when given that the black fur allele (B) is dominant and the white fur allele (b) is recessive.
What is 50 percent?
500
The complementary strand of DNA for the following DNA strand: AGCCTG
What is TCGGAC?
