Name:______

DNA

  1. a change in genotype and phenotype due to contact with material from another bacterium
  2. Experiment showing that DNA (not Protein) is the genetic information
  3. Rule stating that proportions of A and T are equal and C and G are equal but amounts of each pair may vary
  4. She used X-ray diffraction on DNA which helped Watson discover the shape of DNA
  5. Bonds that link the 5' C of one nucleotide to the 3' C of another
  6. term describing the complementary nature of DNA (one strand: 3'-->5' other strand: 5'-->3')
  7. Correct DNA replication model: Replicated DNA strands consist of one parent strand and one daughter strand
  8. term describing the way one strand can be used to create the other strand
  9. Incorrect DNA replication model that strates that all DNA strands will contain parts of the parent DNA in mixed pieces
  10. Incorrect DNA replication model that states that all DNA will remain in the parent DNA molecule and that all replicated DNA strands will only contain copied DNA strands
  11. another name for 'origin of replication': where H-bonds are originally broken to begin copying
  12. the term for the open area of DNA wher a complementary strand is being added from the inside out
  13. term for the Y-shaped area next to the area of DNA replication that continually gets shifted as DNA copying progresses
  14. enzyme that "unzips" DNA by breaking H bonds between base pairs
  15. enzyme that corrects "overwinding" ahead of the replication fork (i.e. helps with strain on unwinding sections of DNA during replication)
  16. enzyme that creates a RNA primer for the 5' end of the leading strand and 5' end of each Okazaki fragment
  17. DNA polymerase that continually synthesizes the leading strand
  18. DNA polymerase that repairs damage to DNA
  19. DNA polymerase that replaces primers: removes primer from the 5' end of the leading strand and Okazaki fragments Fragments created from segments of the lagging strand
  20. Fragments created from segments of the lagging strand
  21. strand that copies from the 3'-->5' direction
  22. strand that copies from the 5'-->3' direction
  23. DNA polymerase that joins Okazaki Fragments together
  24. Repeated DNA pattern of TTAGGG at the end of DNA that acts as a "cap" with a portion getting cut off with each generation
  25. enzyme that rebuilds the DNA "cap" to keep it from shortening-- present in malignant cancer cells and male germ cells
  26. general type of enzyme that repairs double-stranded breaks in DNA
  27. Cell death when cells stop dividing
  28. information that specifies polypeptide structure
  29. shape of DNA
