| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Mendel | learns about DNA (1875) |
| Frederick Griffith | look at pathogenic Bacteria (1928) |
| Avery, McCarty, Mcleod | DNA exchanged in bacterial transformation (1944) |
| Erwin Chargaff | discovered % A,T,C,G different among different species (1947) |
| Hershey & Chase | showed DNA was the vehicle of hereditary (1952) |
| Rosalind Franklin | took X-ray diffraction of DNA (1950s) |
| James Watson & Francis Crick | saw images, found double helix, & found phosphate had to be on outside of molecule/ Purine & Pyrimidine= width consistent (1950s) |
| 1st Paper | published in 1953 won Nobel prize (1962) |
| 2nd Paper | published 1954 describes how DNA replicates= 3 steps |
| DNA replication 3 steps from paper | 1-separation 2-put in new nucleotides 3-2 replicated DNA |
| Origin of Replication | particular sequence on the DNA molecule where replication begins |
| Replication Bubble | where open from origin |
| Replication Fork | end of bubble (opening) |
| Step 1 of Replication | opening up/untwisting DNA |
| Helicase | enzyme that untwists & separates the double helix |
| Single Strand Binding Protein | binds to the single strands as replication fork opens stabilize the separated single strands of the template DNA |
| Topoisomerase | relieves the strain on the (cuts) DNA as helicase untwists the helix |
| Step 2 of Replication | Priming |
| DNA Polymerase | enzyme that build new polymer of DNA (add nucleotides to a growing strand) |
| Primer | chunk of RNA |
| Primase | enzyme that adds RNA |
| Step 3 of Replication | Elongation-DNA polymerase adds neuclotides to 3' end |
| Okazaki Fragments | synthesis of 5' end in short chunk |
