8.1 bio Flashcards
Griffith
researched pneumonia, and called the process of one strain of bacteria acquiring a factor from another bacteria TRANSFORMATION
Avery and DNA
wanted to find the Transforming factor from Griffiths experiment, because they wanted to determine if it was protein or DNA
Hershey and Chase
to fully prove DNA is the genetic material
parts of a nucleotide
Phosphate
sugar (deoxyribos)
Nitrogen base
structure of a DNA moleucle
Structured as a double helix, with base pairs as Thymine=Adenine cysteine= Guanine
similarities and differences
DNA and RNA
DNA
-sugar is deocyribo
-thymine (still w/ A,C,G)
- 2 strands
- one job (store genetic info)
RNA
- sugar is ribo
- Uricell (w/ A,C,G)
- multi functional
-temporary carrier of info
- Synthesis of a protein
Both
-made up of nucleotides
- Same 3 parts
- Adenine(A), Guanine(G), Cysteine(C)
-sugar Phosphate backbone is same
- can form hydrogen bonds between compliment strands
