1. The bacterial transforming principle by
Griffith:
found that nonvirulent R-strain takes up
a transforming principle from the viru-
lent heat-killed S-strain. This allowed the
R-strain to transform into S-strain be-
coming virulent.
Describe the experiments that led to the 2. Avery-MacLeod-McCarty Experiment:
discovery of DNA as the hereditary me- S-strain filtrate was made and treated
terial with RNase, Dnase, Protease, and Car-
boase. Those were then treated with the
R-strain and found that the only dample
containing both both strains was the one
with Dnase.
3. The Hershey Chase experiment:
Officially concluded that DNA was genet-
ic material from work with phages.

What were the conclusions for the three lent heat-killed S-strain. This allowed the

2. Avery-MacLeod-McCarty Experiment:
DNA is the transforming factor

Nucleotides combine via___ covalent bonds
Nucleotides are assembled into polynu-
cleotide chains by:
a. endonuclease
b. DNA pol
b. DNA pol.
c. RNA pol.
d. helicase
Crick and Watson
Who determined that structure of DNA?
Who discovered the secondary structure
Linus Pauling
of proteins using x-ray crystallography?
anti-parallel (strand one 5'-3')(strand 2
Does DNA run parallel or anti parallel?
3'-5')
DNA should have a 1:1 ratio(G=C, A=T)
What is Chargaff's rule?
The haploid human genome is 3 Gbp
long (3x10^9 bp). There are approxi-
mately 50 trillion cells in the human body.
~2m
How long would all of the human genom-
ic DNA in your body be if it were stretch
out end to end?
There is approx, 50 trillion cells in the
human body. How long would all of the
human DNA in your body be if it were b. 100 billion km
stretched end to end?
a. 10 billion km
