Test 2 Flashcards
In 1928 Griffith demonstrated that an unidentified compound from killed cells of the bacterium causing blank could transform harmless bacteria into deadly ones
Pneumonia
In 1944 Avery Macleod and McCarty treated solutions of this transforming principle with digestive enzymes and showed only those treated with blank lost their ability to transform bacteria
DNAase
Hershey and Chase used sulfur to radioactively label blank because they knew it occurred in one of the blank and they used radioactive blank to label the backbone of DNA
Protein, amino acids, phosphate
About the same time chargegoffs study of DNA showed that purine concentrations equals blank concentrations and Adenine concentrations equal blank
Pyrimidine and thymine
RNA is usually blank
Single-stranded
Hydrogen bonding between DNA bases determines how tightly strands are held together strands of DNA from G n C rich molecules separate at blank temperatures then strands of a or t rich DNA
Lower
Elongation of new strands of both DNA and RNA move and what direction
5 to 3
What enzyme denatures the DNA at the start of replication
DNA helicase
The Meselson stall experiments demonstrated that each new DNA molecule is composed of blank strands
One old and one new
What compound is the primer for DNA replication/actually begins it
RNA
Short stretches of DNA synthesized along the lagging strand of the new DNA are called
Okazaki fragments
A codon consist of blank bases
3
Most amino acids are coded for by more than one codon so the code is
Redundant
Each codon consist for only one type of amino acid so the code is not
Ambiguous
Enzyme that seals nicks in a DNA backbone
DNA ligase
