She produced an X-Ray diffraction image of DNA – famously known as photo 51. A 200
He discovered DNA – First isolated the compound as a white powder he called nuclein in 1869. A 300
He discovered that adenine and thymine occurred in equal percentages for any DNA sample. A 400
Who is Erwin Chargaff? A 400
Their famous experiment allowed them to conclude that DNA, not protein, was the hereditary compound in the cell. It was called Waring blender experiment.ber A 500
What is deoxyribose? B 200
Nucleotides B 300
These compounds make up the sides of the DNA “twisted ladder.” B 400
Hydrogen bonds form between the DNA bases. These bonds form as a result of an attraction between the following atoms: hydrogen and _________. B 500
Replication refers to this happening to a DNA molecule. C 100
The enzyme that breaks the bonds between the DNA bases is known as helicase. The enzyme that adds nucleotides has this name. C 200
What is DNA polymerase? C 200
One DNA strand is original and one DNA strand is new in a replicated molecule. DNA replication therefore is described by this term. C 300
DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE C 400
Okazaki fragments are formed along a DNA template strand, rather than the DNA coding strand. This template strand is also referred to by this name. C 400
What is lagging strand? C 400
The DNA molecule strand that runs in the 3’ – 5’ direction is known as the template strand. The DNA molecule strand that runs in the 5’ – 3’ direction goes by this name. C 500
Transcription produces this type of nucleic acid (from the sequence of bases on the DNA template strand). D 100
What is RNA? D 100
What is the nucleus? D 200
RNA polymerase moves to this area of the DNA molecule at the beginning of transcription known as Initiation. D 300
RNA nucleotides are added during the Elongation phase until RNA polymerase reaches this part of DNA . D 400
While introns are cut out and exons are left in, these partsare added to either end of RNA molecule and are thought to protect RNA from cytosol enzymes. D 500
The codons of mRNA match the ____________ of transfer RNAs. E 100
What are the anticodons? E 100
The building blocks of a protein are amino acids. This is the chemical reaction that forms the peptide bonds between them. E 200
What is a condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis)? E 200
During translation, Initiation is followed by _________ and _________. E 300
These are the specific types of nucleic acid molecules involved in translation. E 400
