In his work with pneumonia-causing bacteria and mice, Griffith found that __________.
- ✔✔some substance from pathogenic cells was transferred to nonpathogenic cells,
making them pathogenic
What is the basis for the difference in how the leading and lagging strands of DNA
molecules are synthesized? - ✔✔dna polymerase can join new nucleotides only to the 3'
end of a growing strand
In analyzing the number of different bases in a DNA sample, which result would be
consistent with the base-pairing rules? - ✔✔A + G = C + T
The elongation of the leading strand during DNA synthesis __________. - ✔✔depends
on the action of DNA polymerase
In a nucleosome, the DNA is wrapped around __________. - ✔✔histones

E. coli cells grown on 15N medium are transferred to 14N medium and allowed to grow
for two more generations (two rounds of DNA replication). DNA extracted from these
cells is centrifuged. What density distribution of DNA would you expect in this
experiment? - ✔✔one low-density and one intermediate-density band
A biochemist isolates, purifies, and combines in a test tube a variety of molecules
needed for DNA replication. When she adds some DNA to the mixture, replication
occurs, but each DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired with numerous
segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has she probably left out of
the mixture? - ✔✔DNA ligase
