Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G), and Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T).

Front

What are the molecules responsible for carrying genetic material?

Back

Nucleic Acids (DNA) are responsible for carrying genetic material.

Front

Who is known for using X-ray diffraction to study DNA?

Back

Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to see DNA.

Front

What was the outcome of Avery's experiment when he added an enzyme to break down proteins?

Back

The bacteria were still transformed.

Front

What type of information does DNA carry?

Back

DNA carries genetic information.

Front

What are the four main bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores and transmits genetic information.

Front

What is the significance of Chargaff's rules?

Back

Chargaff's rules state that the amount of Adenine equals Thymine and the amount of Cytosine equals Guanine in DNA.

Front

What role do proteins play in the cell?

Back

Proteins perform a variety of functions including catalyzing biochemical reactions, providing structural support, and regulating processes.
