| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DNA | - Polymer made up of monomers called nucleotides - Phosphate group -5 carbon sugars -Nitrogen bases (A,T,G,C) |
| Chargoff | A = T C = G *the bonds are hydrogen* |
| Hershey/Chase | - 1952 - studied bacteriophage T2: Virus that infects bacteria - Found DNA holds genetic materials and not protein + Viral DNA (radioactive phosphate) + Viral Protein (Radioactive sulfur) *allowed eboli to infect the bacteria* |
| Centrifuged | *3rd step in Hershey/Chase Exper.* Heavier material will make a pallet |
| Blend | *2bd step in Hershey/Chase Exper.* takes off loose phages outside of bacteria cell |
| Results of Hershey/Chase | found more radioactive ended up in the DNA labeled pallet |
| If 30% of your nucleotides are "C", what percent are "T"? | C=30% -> G=30% 30%+30%= 60% | 100%-60%= 40% 40%/2 -> 20%=T,A There are 20% "T". |
| Watson/Crick | - Founded the 3D Structure of DNA - Nobel Prize 1962 - Rosalind Franklin |
| 3 Models of DNA | 1.Semi-Conservative 2.Dispersive 3.Conservative |
| Semi-conservative | 1 old strand and 1 new strand *Proved to be DNA!!!* |
| Dispersive | 1 old and new on the same strand |
| Conservative | 1 completely old strand, 1 completely new strand |
| Messelson & Stahl | - proved DNA was Semi-conservative - used isotopes of Nitrogen in experiment -> N14 = Light -> N15 = Heavy |
| On a "U". Top, Middle, Bottom bands mean? | Top Band = N14, Light: NEW Mid Band = N14 & N15: Old and New Btm Band = N15, Heavy: Old |
| Messelson & Stahl found on the 1st generation of their strand. | They found a mid band: *Dispersive* Mid = N14 & N15: Old and New |
| Messelson & Stahl found on the 2nd generation of their strand. | They found a Top & Mid band. *Semi-Conservative* Top Band = N14, Light: NEW Mid Band = N14 & N15: Old and New |
| DNA is... | Antiparallel: 5' to 3' 3' to 5' |
| Purine | A, G |
| Pyrimidine | C, T |
| DNA Replication | Origin of Replication - bacteria/viruses + Cicular + needs only 1 - Eukaryotes + goes along a line + has many |
| Enzymes of DNA Replication | 1.Helicase 2.Topiosomerase - SSBP - 3.Primase 4.DNA Polymerase III 5.DNA Polymerase I 6.DNA Ligase |
| Helicase (E.D.R.) | unwinds the Double helix |
| Topiosomerase (E.D.R.) | prevents "over-winding" |
| SSBP (E.D.R.) | (Single-Strand Bind Protein) stabilizes and keeps strands apart |
| Primase (E.D.R.) | Lays down RNA primer |
| DNA Polymerase III (E.D.R.) | adds nucleotides to the end of 5' to 3' |
| DNA polymerase I (E.D.R.) | replaces RNA with new DNA |
| DNA Ligase (E.D.R.) | links okazaki fragments |
| Leading Strand | - 5' to 3' - synthesize continuously - Only needs 1 RNA primer |
| Lagging Strand | - synthesized in pieces called okazaki fragments - 3' to 5' - needs multi RNA primers |
| Robert Edwards | - 1974 - Studied intro-fertilization - Won Nobel prize 2010 |
| Why did Robert Edwards win the Nobel Prize on the year of 2010? | To see if the test tube baby grew and able to have a child of their own. The test tube girl recently had a child. |
| Griffith | - 1928 - mice experiment |
| Griffith Experiment | 1. Living S Cells - killed mice 2. Living R Cells - mice lived 3. Heat-killed S Cells (Control) - mice lived 4. S Cells & R Cells - mice died |
