1 - $500 What did Hershey and Chase use to trace the fate of DNA and protein? Radioactive sulfur and phosphorus

2 - $100 What shape does a DNA strand make? A twisted ladder; a double helix

2 - $200 Adenine pairs with what in DNA? Thymine

2 - $300 What are two types of bases? Pyrimidines and Purines

2 - $400 What does cytosine pair with in DNA? Guanine

2 - $500 What is the enzyme that builds DNA strands? DNA polymerase

3 - $100 What does DNA contain? Genetic information

3 - $200 What does DNA stand for? Deoxyribonucleic acid

3 - $300 Where is DNA located in eukaryotes? In the nucleus

3 - $400 Where is DNA located in a prokaryote? In the middle floating in cytoplasm

3 - $500 What are adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine all called? bases.

4 - $100 What type of replication is DNA replication? Semi-conservative

4 - $200 What is the leading strand? Created by the DNA polymerase and follows the helicase

4 - $300 What’s the lagging strand? Created by several polymerases moving in opposite directions from the helicase

4 - $400 Where is the origin of replication? The location where the helicase starts to unzip

4 - $500 What does Semi conservative mean? That half the strand of DNA is new and half is old.
