Q

Griffith’s experiment included…

A
  1. Injecting the mice with R and the mice being able to fight it off. Injecting the mice with S and the mice not being able to fight it off.
  2. Wanted to to kill the S strain, heated up the S and injected it in too the mice. The bacteria couldn’t do anything and then the mice was fine.
  3. injected the mice with R and then injected the mice wth the heated up S and something happened, the DNA transformed the S back.

Q

Oswald Avery and is colleagues showed that…

A
  1. Figured out that when the S Bacteria was killed there DNA was still there witch got picked up the bad Bacteria causing it to transform into bad Bacteria.
  2. Avery and Griffith used mice and bacteria, and that they figured out that DNA and Bacteria is a transforming agent.

Q

Hershey and chase give…

A
  1. Radioactive elements to viruses, viruses ended up have this protein coat that had radioactive sulfur.
  2. They took this viruses and gave it to E. coli and they wanted to see what would be passed on. There was No Radioactive sulfur, there was only radioactive phosphorous witch meant the DNA is the hereditary material for viruses.

Q

What are the 3 parts of a DNA nucleotide, and how are they connected to each other.

A

Q

If 15% of the nucleotides in a DNA molecule contain guanine, what percentage of the nucleotides contain each of the other three bases

A

15% Because there all equal

17
Q

Why is complementary base pairing important in DNA structure

A

The hydrogen bonds between the base is holding the two strands of DNA together and because it serves as a way for DNA to replicate.

18
Q

How did X-Ray diffraction photographs help Watson and crick determine the structure of DNA

A

Is showed that is was a double helix and gave hints about structure
