| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| WHEN does DNA replication occur? | S-phase of interphase |
| WHERE does DNA replication occur? | nucleus |
| What is the key feature that allows DNA to be copied? | the pairing of nitrogen bases in DNA |
| Who discovered that harmless bacteria can be "transformed" into pneumonia-causing bacteria? | F. Griffith |
| Who identified that DNA is the transforming factor? | Avery & Associates |
| Who identified that the genetic material of a virus is not protein? | Hershey & Chase |
| Who used x-ray diffraction to determine that DNA is a helical molecule? | Franklin & Wilkins |
| Who identified that the amount of adenine equals the amount of thymine in DNA and that the amount of guanine equals the amount of cytosine in DNA? (chargaff's rules... A=T and G=C) | Chargaff |
| Who pulled the data together to construct a 3-dimensional model of DNA as a double helix in which two strands were wound around each other? | Watson & Crick |
| Who received the Nobel Prize in 1962? | Watson & Crick and Wilkins |
| Who died in 1958? | Franklin |
| What is the structure of DNA? | 4 nucleotides |
| Each nucleotide has a __________, a ______________, and a ___________. | phosphate; 5 carbon sugar; nitrogen containing base |
| What are the 4 bases? | adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine |
| ___________ (A&G) are double ring bases- larger in size. | Purines |
| _________ (T&C) are single ring bases- smaller in size. | Pyrimidines |
| DNA is a ____________. | double helix |
| A double helix is a ____________. | twisted ladder |
| The ___________________ make up the ___________ (sides) of the molecule.... held together with __________ bonds (strong). | sugars & phosphates; backbones; covalent |
| The _________________ make up the ___________ (rungs) and are held together with _____________ bonds (easily broken). | base pairs; middle; hydrogen |
| A bonds to T with _ hydrogen bonds. | 2 |
| G bonds to C with _ hydrogen bonds. | 3 |
| The ________ side of the DNA helix reads 3' to _'. This is the _____________ and also reads _____ to right, _______ to top. | right; 5; hydroxylon sugar; left; bottom |
| The ___________ side of the DNA helix reads 5' to _'. This is the ________________ and also reads ________ to left, ___ to bottom. | left; 3; phosphate end; right; top |
| All "____" (combo of bases (codons)) have only _ letters. | words; 3 |
| How letters are there in the bases alphabet? | 4 |
| 4 cubed = ___ (how many combos of codons) | 64 |
| What does DNA replication produce? | 2 double helices |
| Both double helices produces have what? | 1 original strand and 1 new strand |
| Producing 1 original and 1 new strand is called what? | semiconservative replication |
| Replication involves what 3 major actions and enzymes? | DNA helicase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase |
| This enzyme involved in replication separates the parent strands. | DNA helicase |
| This enzyme involved in replication synthesizes new DNA strands and proofreads strands. | DNA polymerase |
| This enzyme involved in replication joins segments to make the daughter strands. | DNA ligase |
| The result of DNA helicase breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary parental DNA strands: | unwound sections of DNA strands |
| Name this part of DNA replication: a place at the edge of the replication bubble where the parental DNA strands have not yet been unwound... where DNA polymerase adds complementary bases to parts that are unwound | replication fork |
| If there are no mistakes during replication: 2 _____ DNA helices are formed... ______ to the _________ and to each ______. | identical; identical; original; other |
| _____________ and other enzymes "proofread" the strands for accuracy and fixes most errors. | DNA polymerase |
| ________/ 100 million to 1 billion base pairs | 1 mistake |
| The mistakes (mutations) can be: | good, bad, or null |
| Sources of error in DNA: | chemicals, UV rays, aging |
| ____ mutations are the driving force of ____________. | good; evolution |
