3 In prokaryotes, DNA replication (gets copied) happens before ________ __________
Cell division

4 In eukaryotes, DNA replication (gets copied) happens before ________ __________
Cell division

5 What do bacteriophages infect?
bacteria

6 Where is the DNA located within eukaryotes
Inside nucleus

7 What type of organism has its DNA contained within a nucleus
eukaryote

8 What form of genetic material includes DNA molecules, histones, nucleosomes, and super coils
chromosome

9 What will the DNA strand GATCCA replicate to produce
CTAGGT

10 How many strands of DNA does DNA replication result in
2

11 What process results in one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA
DNA replication

12 In which cells is the accurate transmission of information most important
Sex cells

13 What is an example of a nucleotide found in DNA
Deoxyribose + phosphate group + cytosine (or thymine, adenine, or guanine)

14 What concept states that the % of thymine is about equal to the % adenine
Base pairing

15 According to base pairing; the % of adenine is about equal to _______
thymine

16 Which scientist observed harmless bacteria being transformed
Griffith

17 What did Griffith call the process of the harmless bacteria being transformed
transformation

18 Avery concluded that _____ was the transforming factor that caused transformation
DNA

19 Bacteriophages have DNA; what is the monomer of DNA
Nucleic acid

20 What did Hershey and Chase use to label the viral DNA
Radioactive phosphorous

21 Does DNA contain phosphorous or sulfur

22 What stores information in a cell
DNA

23 When a piece of ____ is missing, genetic information is lost
DNA

24 What is lost when a piece of DNA is missing
Genetic inforamtion

25 DNA stores information, what must happen before it can be passed on
Must be copied

26 What is this entire structure called?
DNA molecule

27 Based on Chargaff’s rule: if A=28. 8 and C=21
Based on Chargaff’s rule: if A=28.8 and C=21.5 What should the % of guanine be? 21.5 because %G=%C

28 Based on Chargaff’s rule; if A=13.4 what is the % of cytosine
36.6 because ( X 2)/2

29 Who's rule suggests that the % of A=T and C=G
Chargaff

30 Who produced images of DNA molecules using x-rays
Rosalind Franklin

31 Rosalind Franklin contributed to the understanding of ______using an x-ray
DNA

32 What is the shape of a DNA molecule
Double helix

33 Which scientists figured out that a DNA molecule was in the shape of a double helix
Watson and Crick

34 Which base pairs with thymine
adenine

35 Which base pairs with guanine
cytosine

36 Which base pairs with adenine
thymine

37 Which base pairs with cytosine
guanine

38 What enzyme adds base pairs during DNA replication
DNA polymerase

39 In prokaryotes, how many copies of the chromosome are left after replication
2

40 In eukaryotes, how many copies of the chromosome are left after replication
2
