Q

Which mixture did not develop transformed S cells in the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment?

A

The mixture with DNase

19
Q

Why did the mixture with DNase not develop transformed S cells in the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment?

A

The DNase got rid of all DNA

20
Q

What was the conclusion of the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment?

A

DNA was the genetic component that transferred between cells

21
Q

Did the scientific community accept in the results of the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment?

A

No, they were reluctant

22
Q

Which experiment confirmed the results of the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment?

A

Hershey and Chase’s experiment

23
Q

What was the test subject in the Hershey-Chase experiment?

A

Bacteriophage

24
Q

Which two components of the bacteriophage were labeled in the Hershey-Chase experiment?

A

Protein and DNA

25
What were the proteins labeled with in the Hershey-Chase experiment and why?
Radioactive sulfur, because DNA doesn't have sulfur but proteins to
26
What was the DNA labeled with in the Hershey-Chase experiment and why?
Radioactive phosphorous, because proteins don't have phosphorous but DNA does
27
Which bacteria was used in the Hershey-Chase experiment?
E. coli
28
After the virus infected the bacterium, how were the virus and bacteria separated in the Hershey-Chase experiment?
Centrifugation
29
In the Hershey-Chase experiment, the bacterial pellet was found to be radioactive when the bacteria was infected with...
Viruses labeled with radioactive phosphorous (DNA-labeled)
30
In the Hershey-Chase experiment, the supernatant was found to be radioactive when the bacteria was infected with...
Viruses labeled with radioactive sulfur (Protein-labeled)
31
The Hershey-Chase experiment confirms that ___ is the genetic material
DNA
32
What method did Rosalind Franklin use to create images of DNA?
X-ray crystallography
33
What did Rosalind Franklin's images of DNA show?
DNA has a double helix structure
34
Franklin and Wilkins discovered that bases are how far apart?
0.34 nanometers
35
Franklin and Wilkins discovered that there are how many base pairs per turn, and therefore how long is one helix?
10 base pairs per turm, 3.4 nanometer helix
36
What was the goal of Watson and Crick's experiment?
To discover the chemical and structural arrangement of DNA
37
What were 3 key previous experiments that Watson and Crick used?
1. Chargaff's rules 2. Franklin's C-ray crystallography 3. Linus Pauling's method of working out protein structures using ball-and-stick models
38
Watson and Crick discovered what 6 components about DNA?
1. Double-stranded (antiparallel) 2. Helical 3. Sugar-phosphate backbone 4. Bases on inside 5. Stabilized by hydrogen bonds 6. Base pairs with specific pairing
39
What was the goal of the Meselson-Stahl experiment?
Find which hypothesis of how old and new DNA strands interact is correct
40
What bacteria was used in the Meselson-Stahl experiment?
E. coli
41
In the Meselson-Stahl experiment, what was generation 0 grown in?
Heavy Nitrogen (15 N)
42
In the Meselson-Stahl experiment, what was generation 1 grown in?
14 N
43
In the four DNA samples of generation 2 of the Meselson-Stahl experiment, what was the ratio of 15 N to 15N-14N hybrid to 14 N?
0 to 2 to 2
44
Which hypothesis did the results of the Meselson-Stahl experiment support?
Semiconservative DNA replication
