Question
Answer
Isolated a phosphorus- rich substance called nuclein from puss soaked bandages salved from a German hospital?   Friedrich Miescher  
🗑
Researched on the fruit fly; uncovered the basis of genetic linkage.   Thomas Hunt Morgan  
🗑
Uncovered the basic rules of inheritance using the pea plant; found that inheritance is particulate with each trait being based on two factors with one or the other factor being passed on intact from parent to offspring.   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
19th century researcher studied the roundworm (Ascaris) and found that germ line cells have half the number of chromosomes than somatic line cells   Theodore Boveri  
🗑
Clipped the tails off of mice generation after generation to test the idea of inheritance of acquired characters   August Weismann  
🗑
19th century researcher; came up with the first viable mechanism by which evolutionary change may occur; based on the differential survival and reproduction of different variants in the population   Charles Darwin  
🗑
Expert in X-ray crystallography data and adopted a model buiding approach to finally decipher the structure of the DNA molecule   James Watson  
🗑
18th and early 19th century researcher; hypothesized that evolution worked through a model of inheritance of acquired characteristics   Jean- Baptiste Lamarck  
🗑
The process of copying messenger RNA from a DNA template   Transcription  
🗑
The process of producing polypeptide sequences from a messenger RNA sequence.   Translation  
🗑
Exchange between two homologous chromosomes resulting in new combinations of alleles across different loci   Recombination  
🗑
Type of bond occuring between complimentary bases holds the two strands of the double stranded DNA molecule together   Hydrogen Bonds  
🗑
the enzyme that unwinds doule stranded DNA at the replication fork   Helicase  
🗑
The Messelson- Stahl experiment demonstrated the DNA replication is...   Semiconservative  
🗑
Chromosomes consist of chromatin, a material made of...   DNA and proteins  
🗑
In eukaryotic organisms, genes are transcribed int RNA molecules that in turn undergo processing that removes certain segments called...   Introns  
🗑
The inheritance of cytosine bases that have been methylated in a parent is an example of...   Epigenetics  
🗑
Genes can be regulated by...   splicing out different bits of RNA, turning transcription on or off, making mRNA molecules more or less stable, controlling the timing of translation  
🗑
The proportion of the phenotypic variation thast is due to genetic variation   Heritability  
🗑
Genes thgat are widely expressed across many differnt types of cells because they encode for proteins vital to the basic function of all cells   Housekeeping Genes  
🗑
DNA may be transcribed into...   tRNA, mRNA, or rRNA  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
