Assignment #1 on Modules 1,2,3
1. In which year was the structure of the DNA elucidated?
- 1953
2. Who demonstrated that DNA was the genetically transmitted material in an experiment
that used bacteriophage proteins labeled with S35 and DNA labeled with P32?
- Hershey and Chase
3. Which of the following determined the complementary base pairing in the DNA?
- Chargaff
4. The following are base pairs in the DNA:
- adenine - thymine; guanine - cytosine
5. How many genes are estimated to be present on human DNA?
- 20000-25000
6. Formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids results in loss of
- a water molecule
7. For DNA to fit inside the nucleus, it starts wrapping around a protein called
- Histone
8. Translation is
- the synthesis of proteins from mRNA
9. Synthesis of mRNA is
- in the 5' to 3' direction with new nucleotides being added to the 3' end of the mRNA
molecule.
