Final Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Griffith | injected mice with different strands of bacteria - smooth=deadly, rough=ok. When heat killed smooth bacteria was mixed with harmless bacteria and was injected, the mice died. |
| Avery | Used enzymes to kill different molecules, when DNA was killed transformation did not occur. |
| Hershey-Chase | Used bacteriophages with different radioactive markers on their protein coats and DNA. Phosphorus 32 was found injected in, which was the marker of DNA. |
| 3 critical things genes were known to do. | Carry info from one generation to another, put that information to work by determing the heritable characteristics of organisms, and had to be easily copied. |
| 4 kinds of nitrogenous bases | adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine |
| Purines | A, G |
| Pyrmididines | C, T |
| A bonds to what and C bonds to what | T, G |
| DNA's structure | double helix - has two strands |
| Backbone of a DNA chain | sugar and phosphate groups of each nucleotide. |
| DNA is tightly coiled around | histone proteins |
| DNA and histones form | nucleosomes |
| Why are the chromosomes only visible during mitosis? | The fibers of each chromosome are drawn together. |
| Replication | the cell duplicates its DNA. |
| DNA Replication info | the DNA molecule unzips. Each strand serves as a template. Two complementary strands are formed because of base pairing. |
| Replication fork | where DNA replication and separation occur |
| DNA Polymerase | Polymerizes individual nucleotides, proofreeds each new DNA strand making sure it's an exact copy. |
