2. Okazaki fragments form during DNA replication because: mRNA is single stranded Half of the DNA strand is inverted thus necessitating DNA Polymerase work in two directions, towards and away from the replication fork. The base pair rule dictates that the amount of Adenine must equal the amount of Thymine The coding strand is read from the 5' to 3' end
3. Which of the following is required for DNA replication to occur?DNA helicaseProofreading enzymesDNA polymeraseall of these
4. A nucleotide consists of:a nitrogen basea nitrogen base and a sugara nitrogen base, sugar, and phosphatetwo nitrogen bases, a sugar, and a phosphate
5. The material responsible for bacterial transformation in Griffith's (the mouse guy) experiments was:proteincapsulesDNAheat
6. The Hershey-Chase blender experiment finally proved that: bacteria could be transformed DNA was the molecule of heredity DNA was in the shape of a double helix bases paired in a predictable way (A's to T's and G's to C's)
7. The "rungs" of the DNA ladder are made of: phosphates & bases sugars sugars & phosphates nitrogen bases
8. Before the Hershey-Chase experiment, many scientists believed that ________ carried the hereditary information.proteinsphageshelicasethe plasma membrane
9. In order to transform to a virulent form of bacteria, rough bacteria must:dividebe exposed to dead smooth bacteriabe exposed to radioactive phosphorousinfect a host
10. A DNA strand has the following bases: A-A-G-C-C-A. What are the bases on its complimentary strand? A-A-G-C-C-A A-C-C-G-A-A T-T-C-G-G-T C-C-A-T-T-C
