DNA structure

What does DNA stand for?

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Antiparallel

Describes how each side of the DNA molecule is arranged

Watson and Crick

Developed an accurate model of DNA

Hershey-Chase

Experiment showed that DNA was transferred when phages infected bacteria

Frederick Griffith

Experiment with mouse and pneumonia showed the DNA was the transforming agent

Complementary Base to Cytosine

Guanine

Nucleotide

Identify

DNA Back Bone

Made from Phosphate and Deoxiribose

Amino Acids

Monomer of proteins

Pyrimidines

Single ringed nitrogen base, cytosine and thymine

The complimentary DNA strand of the following is: ATT TAA ACC GAG

TAA ATT TGG CAC

Complementary Base to Adenine

Thymine

Purines

Two ringed nitrogen base; adenine and guanine

Franklin and Wilkins

Used X-ray crystallography to develop images of DNA

Double Helix

shape of the DNA molecule

Deoxyribose sugar

sugar used in DNA to make up the "backbone"

Chargaff's Rule

A bonds with T, G bonds with C

Nucleotide

A building block of DNA, consisting of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.

Deoxyribose

A five-carbon sugar that is a component of DNA nucleotides

Gene

A section of DNA that codes for a trait
