10. How DNA is stored in cells (what we call the tightly wound packages of DNA)

11. What are chromosomes?

12. The number of chromosomes in most cells in your body

13. What is 46?

14. A section of a chromosome that codes for the production of a particular protein

15. What is gene?

16. If we imagine a nucleus to be like a library filled with 46 books, what are the “chapters” of the books?

17. What are genes?

18. Rank the following from simplest/smallest (1) to most complex/largest (6)
cell
chromosome
gene
nitrogenous base
nucleotide
nucleus

19. What is:
nitrogenous base (1)
nucleotide (2)
gene (3)
chromosome (4)
nucleus (5)
cell (6)

20. The symbols of the 4 different bases in DNA

21. What are A, T, G and C

22. The sugar in DNA

23. What is deoxyribose sugar?

24. The components of DNA’s backbone
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
The components of DNA’s backbone

25. What are deoxyribose sugar and phosphate molecules?

26. The charge on DNA and the component that gives it that charge

27. What is negative and phosphate molecules

28. The type and number of bonds that join a cytosine to a guanine base

29. What is 3 hydrogen bonds

30. The 2 men who won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of DNA’s structure

31. Who are Watson and Crick?

32. The scientist whose student took this famous X-ray

33. Who is Rosalind Franklin?

34. What this DNA proved about DNA’s nitrogenous bases

35. What is A pairs with T and C pairs with G?

36. How Chargaff’s data helped Watson and Crick
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
How Chargaff’s data helped Watson and Crick

37. What is it told them which bases to pair together in their model (A with T and C with G)

38. If 31% of the bases in a yeast cell are A, this percent are G

39. What is 19%
(If 31% are A, then 31% are T, making 62% be A and T, so 38% leftover would be C & G. Half would be G and half of 38% is 19%)

40. The place in the body from which cells are typically extracted for DNA analysis

41. What is cheek?

42. The chemical mixed with water before swishing in the mouth (in order to help break cells away from cheek

43. What is salt?

44. Dish soap lyses cells. The literal meaning of the work lyse is what this.

45. What is break/split?

46. During DNA extraction, DNA precipitates. To precipitate means this.

47. What is “for a solid to form out of a solution”?

48. Of this list, the item you could be missing and still extract DNA
Dishsoap
Ethanol
Food Coloring
Salt

57. What is PCR?

58. The literal meaning
of the word
polymerase (provided
by breaking it into
the 3 roots)

59. What is “enzyme that makes many parts”?
poly=many
mer=parts
ase=enzyme

60. The process by which DNA fragments can be separated

61. What is gel electrophoresis?

62. What pulls DNA across a gel (what it is attracted to)

63. What is electricity (or a positive charge)?

64. During electrophoresis, RFLPs get separated based on a difference in this property

65. What is SIZE?

66. Based on an understanding of the process of electrophoresis, it can be inferred that phore’s literal meaning is (choose one)
To carry
To break
To combine
To repel

67. What is “to carry”?
(Electrophoresis literally means “the condition of being carried by electricity”)

68. A segment of DNA has two restriction sites–I and II
A segment of DNA has two restriction sites–I and II. When incubated with restriction enzymes I and II, three fragments will be formed–a, b, and c. Which of the following gels produced by electrophoresis would represent the separation and identity of these fragments?

69. What is B?
(B is shortest, so would go farthest and C is longest, so would travel the least)

70. Write a paragraph that meaningfully connects the following terms:
Final Jeopardy
Write a paragraph that meaningfully connects the following terms:
cells
chromosomes
DNA
genes
proteins
traits

71. EXAMPLE OF GOOD ANSWER:
Human cells contain DNA that is tightly wound into 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome has many sections that are called genes. Each gene codes for a protein and the proteins that they code for determine an individual’s traits (height, eye color, etc).
