DNA structure

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are chromosome made of?   protein and DNA  
🗑
Bacteriophages   Viruses that infect bacteria  
🗑
Explain the Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase experiment   (wanted to know which contained genetic material: protein or DNA) So they injected protein (in one case) and D  
🗑
What's the Hershey and Chase experiment conclusion?   DNA, not protein, that's the genetic material. DNA is injected into cell by phage not protein  
🗑
What enters the cell and directs the synthesis of new phases?   DNA  
🗑
Who won the Nobel Prize for determining the structure of DNA in 1953?   Watson, Crick, Wilkins (Franklin was dead so she couldn't win)  
🗑
What is DNA made of?   DNA is a nucleic acid made of nucleotides  
🗑
What does a DNA nucleotide contain?   phosphate group, sugar (deoxyribose), and nitrogenous base  
🗑
How many carbons does deoxyribose have?   5  
🗑
Contrast DNA and RNA   DNA: have Thymine, have deoxyribose, double stranded, cannot be a enzyme; RNA have uracil, have ribose sugar, can function as an enzyme, single stranded  
🗑
Similarities of DNA and RNA   both nucleic acid, made of nuecleotide, both have genetic information  
🗑
The two DNA are anti parellel?   Yes  
🗑
Where is the OH hooked on? The 5' or 3'?   3', so the new nucleotide can hook on  
🗑
fill in the blank: The new nucleic acid strands are made in the ( ) to ( ) direction   5' to 3'  
🗑
What bonds hold the DNA bases together   hydrogen bond (so it breaks easily)  
🗑
Which is the template strand? 5' or 3'?   5'  
🗑
Which is the new DNA strand? 5' or 3'?   3'  
🗑
DNA polymerase   read each single strand and adds the complementary one  
🗑
Ligase   join the ends of the newly synthesized DNA  
🗑
Explain the DNA replication process   Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix; DNA polymerase assembles a complementary new strand on each old one, building the two strands in opposite directions; DNA ligase attaches one new strand to the previously replicated segment on the lagging strand.  
🗑
Central dogma   DNA --> RNA --> Protein  
🗑
what three kinds of RNA are use to make proteins?   Messenger RNA (mRNA); Transfer RNA (tRNA); Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)  
🗑
Transcription   From DNA to mRNA  
🗑
Translation   From mRNA to Protein  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
