He discovered that adenine and thymine occurred in equal percentages for any DNA sample. A 400
Who is Erwin Chargaff? A 400
Their famous experiment allowed them to conclude that DNA, not protein, was the hereditary compound in the cell. It was called Waring blender experiment.ber A 500
Who were Hersey and Chase? A 500
It is the shape of the DNA molecule. B 100
What is the double helix? B 100
This is the correct name of the sugar in DNA. B 200
What is deoxyribose? B 200
They are the building blocks or monomers of DNA. B 300
Nucleotides B 300
These compounds make up the sides of the DNA “twisted ladder.” B 400
What are phosphates and deoxyribose sugars? B 400
Hydrogen bonds form between the DNA bases. These bonds form as a result of an attraction between the following atoms: hydrogen and _________. B 500
What is oxygen or nitrogen? B 500
Replication refers to this happening to a DNA molecule. C 100
What is copying or duplicating? C 100
The enzyme that breaks the bonds between the DNA bases is known as helicase. The enzyme that adds nucleotides has this name. C 200
What is DNA polymerase? C 200
One DNA strand is original and one DNA strand is new in a replicated molecule. DNA replication therefore is described by this term. C 300
What is semi- conservative? C 300
DAILY DOUBLE C 400 DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager
Okazaki fragments are formed along a DNA template strand, rather than the DNA coding strand. This template strand is also referred to by this name. C 400
What is lagging strand? C 400
The DNA molecule strand that runs in the 3’ – 5’ direction is known as the template strand. The DNA molecule strand that runs in the 5’ – 3’ direction goes by this name. C 500
What is the DNA coding strand? C 500
Transcription produces this type of nucleic acid (from the sequence of bases on the DNA template strand). D 100
What is RNA? D 100
Transcription occurs in this organelle. D 200
What is the nucleus? D 200
RNA polymerase moves to this area of the DNA molecule at the beginning of transcription known as Initiation. D 300
What is the promoter region? D 300
RNA nucleotides are added during the Elongation phase until RNA polymerase reaches this part of DNA. D 400
What is the terminator signal or terminator region? D 400
While introns are cut out and exons are left in, these parts are added to either end of RNA molecule and are thought to protect RNA from cytosol enzymes. D 500
What are the mG cap and the Poly A tail. D 500
The codons of mRNA match the ____________ of transfer RNAs. E 100
What are the anticodons? E 100
The building blocks of a protein are amino acids. This is the chemical reaction that forms the peptide bonds between them. E 200
What is a condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis)? E 200
During translation, Initiation is followed by _________ and _________. E 300
What is Elongation and Termination? E 300
These are the specific types of nucleic acid molecules involved in translation. E 400
What are mRNA, tRNA & rRNA? E 400
The start codon ________ codes for the amino acid ________. E 500
What is AUG and Methionine? E 500
DNA has the base Thymine, while RNA has this base instead. F 100
What is Uracil? F 100
DNA has twice as many of these as RNA. F 200
What are strands? F 200
RNA contains this sugar. F 300
What is ribose? F 300
This RNA molecule has a looped shape that may resemble a clover. It brings the amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain during translation. F 400
What is tRNA? F 400
A ribosome is made up of these compounds. F 500
What is protein and ribosomal RNA? F 500
