He injected mice with a deadly smooth strand of pneumonia, a rough strand, a killed strand, and a combination of the killed strand and the rough strand.

Question 2

How was the Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty experiment set up?

Answer 2

They injected mice with the same combo of killed strands and rough strands, but took out either DNA, RNA, and protein. They realized that it did not transform with out DNA.

Question 3

How was the Hershey and Chase experiment set up?

Answer 3

They made either the shell of the bacteria or the inside radioactive so after they blinded it up they could see if the shell or infected cell was radio active.

Question 4

What are the parts of a nucleotide?

phosphate, sugar, and nitrogenous base

Question 5

Similarities and differences of DNA and RNA

Answer 5

DNA: Thymine, deoxyribose sugar, stores information
RNA: Uricul, ribose sugar, makes proteins
Both: Phosphate and nitrogenous bases, A C and G

Question 6

How to calculate the amounts of DNA bases

Answer 6

C goes with G, A goes with T, take away the difference and divide by 2

Question 7

What was the Griffith experiment about?

Answer 7

They wanted to see if bacteria could transform

Question 8

They wanted to see what made the cells transform

Question 9

What was the Hershey and Chase experiment about?

Answer 9

They wanted to see if DNA made cells transform
