answers


For a couple of decades, biologists knew the nucleus
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




contained DNA and proteins. The prevailing opinion ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




was that the genetic material was proteins, and not
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




more complex than DNA. What was the basis of this ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




thinking? - correct answers ✔✔A) Proteins have a ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




DNA.
||\\||\\




In his transformation experiments, what did Griffith
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




observe? - correct answers ✔✔B) Mixing a heat- ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




killed pathogenic strain of bacteria with a living ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




nonpathogenic strain can convert some of the living ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




cells into the pathogenic form. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

,What does transformation involve in bacteria? - ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




correct answers ✔✔E) assimilation of external DNA ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




into a cell ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




The following scientists made significant ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




contributions to our understanding of the structure ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




and function of DNA. Place the scientistsʹ names in ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the correct chronological order, starting with the first
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




scientist(s) to make a contribution.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




I. Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




II. Griffith ||\\||\\




III. Hershey and Chase ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




IV. Meselson and Stahl ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




V. Watson and Crick - correct answers ✔✔B) II, I, III, V,
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




IV
||\\||\\




After mixing a heat-killed, phosphorescent strain of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




bacteria with a living non-phosphorescent strain, you ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

, discover that some of the living cells are now ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




phosphorescent. Which observations would provide ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the best evidence that the ability to fluoresce is a
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




heritable trait? - correct answers ✔✔D) Descendants ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




of the living cells are also phosphorescent.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




In trying to determine whether DNA or protein is the
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




genetic material, Hershey and Chase made use of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




which of the following facts? - correct answers ✔✔B) ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




DNA contains phosphorus, but protein does not.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




For a science fair project, two students decided to
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




modifications. They decided to label the nitrogen of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the DNA, rather than the phosphate. They reasoned
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




that each nucleotide has only one phosphate and ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




two to five nitrogens. Thus, labeling the nitrogens
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




would provide a stronger signal than labeling the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




phosphates. Why wonʹt this experiment work? - ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
