| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sutton helped establish the | Chromosome theory of heredity |
| Chromosome Theory of Heredity | Shows how chromosomes carry genes |
| Griffiths used two strains of pneumonia bacteria in his experiment | Smooth (s) strain and the rough (r) strain |
| S strain | Causes pneumonia |
| R strain | Is harmless |
| Griffith injected mice with | Different strain s of the bacteria |
| Mice with S strain | Died |
| Mice with R strain | Lived |
| S strain was covered in mucus so it was | Deadly |
| R strain was not covered with anything so it was | Harmless |
| Mice with boiled (dead) S strain | Lived |
| Mice with boiled (dead) S strain and live R strain | Died |
| S strain was deadly because | Mucus prevented anything from destroying it |
| Who did the phages experiment? | 2 scientists, Hershey and Chase |
| Phages | a virus |
| Pages are made up of 2 things | Proteins and DNA |
| Pages inject their genetic material into bacteria in order to | Reproduce |
| Purpose of Phages experiment | To find out whether genes where made up of DNA or Protein |
| Results of Phages experiment | DNA carries genetic info. |
| DNA is made up of | Nucleotides |
| Nucleotides are made up of 3 parts | Phosphate group, deoxyribose, and a nitrogenous base |
| 4 nitrogenous bases | Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine |
| Purines | Adenine, Guanine |
| Pyrimidines | Cytosine, Thymine |
| Who discovered the Double Helix? | Rosalind Franklin |
| What is the Double Helix? | The shape of a DNA strand |
| Who received recognition for discovering the double helix? | Watson, and Crick |
| How did Franklin the double helix? | Using an x-ray picture of DNA |
| The enzyme that replicates DNA is called | DNA polymerase |
| DNA polymerase replicates DNA by | Finding free nucleotides in the nucleus and matching them to the parent strands |
| Linked genes | Located on the same chromosome |
| Law of Independent Assortment | If 2 or more traits are inherited, they will assort independently and not effect the outcome of other traits |
| Exception of the Law of Independent Assortment | If traits are located on the same chromosome |
| Recombination happens during | The tetrad formation during Meiosis |
