, Genetic material - CORRECT ANSWERS-genes contain information that, when passed
to a new generation, influences the form and characteristics of each individual
For a molecule to serve as genetic material, it must possess four major characteristics: -
CORRECT ANSWERS-1) replication
2) storage of information
3) expression of information (phenotype)
4) variation by mutation
Expression of the stored genetic information is the bases of ______ within the cell -
CORRECT ANSWERS-information flow
Initial event of information flow - CORRECT ANSWERS-transcription of DNA
Transcription - CORRECT ANSWERS-DNA -> RNA
three main types of RNA are synthesized: mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA
___ are translated into proteins - CORRECT ANSWERS-mRNA
the chemical information of mRNA directs the construction of a chain of amino acids,
called a polypeptide, which then folds into a protein - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Translation
Central dogma of molecular genetics - CORRECT ANSWERS-DNA makes RNA, which
makes proteins
Mutation - CORRECT ANSWERS-a change in the chemical composition of DNA
Genetic variation provides the raw material for - CORRECT ANSWERS-evolution
Miescher - CORRECT ANSWERS-the first to isolate DNA (didn't realize he was doing
this)
