Chapter 13 Vocab - DNA

Griffith:

• was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” which led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information. (concluded transformation did occur)

• Built a model that explained the specific structure and properties of DNA. 

  
  

•  experiment with bacteriophages confirmed Avery’s conclusion that DNA was the genetic material.

  
  

• discovered that DNA stores and transmits genetic information from one generation of bacteria to the next.

  
  

Avery:

• Built a model that explained the specific structure and properties of DNA. 

  
  

• was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” which led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information.

  
  

• discovered that DNA stores and transmits genetic information from one generation of bacteria to the next. (used enzymes)

• experiment with bacteriophages confirmed Avery’s conclusion that DNA was the genetic material.

  
  

Hershey and Chase:

•  Built a model that explained the specific structure and properties of DNA. 

  
  

•  was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” which led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information.

  
  

• discovered that DNA stores and transmits genetic information from one generation of bacteria to the next.

  
  

• experiment with bacteriophages confirmed Avery’s conclusion that DNA was the genetic material. (used radioactivity and bacteriophages)

Franklin:

•  was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” which led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information.

• discovered that DNA stores and transmits genetic information from one generation of bacteria to the next.

• experiment with bacteriophages confirmed Avery’s conclusion that DNA was the genetic material.

• demonstrated the double-helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid: the molecule containing the genetic instructions for the development of all living organisms. (took the picture/x-ray)

Nucleic acid:

•  Molecules composed of many monomers; makes up macromolecules.

  
  

• Small chemical unit that makes up a polymer.

  
  

• Macromolecules containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus.

•  Subunit of which nucleic acids are composed; made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

  
  

Nucleotide:

• Subunit of which nucleic acids are composed; made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

• Small chemical unit that makes up a polymer.

•  Molecules composed of many monomers; makes up macromolecules.

  
  

• Principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine.

Monomer:

•  process of copying DNA prior to cell division.

•  Subunit of which nucleic acids are composed; made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

  
  

•  Molecules composed of many monomers; makes up macromolecules.

  
  

• Small chemical unit that makes up a polymer.

Polymer:

• Molecules composed of many monomers; makes up macromolecules.

• Small chemical unit that makes up a polymer.

  
  

• Subunit of which nucleic acids are composed; made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

•  Macromolecules containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus.

Bacteriophage:

• the area where the replication of DNA will actually take place. 

  
  

• Principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine.

• The observation that Adenine = Thymine, and Guanine = Cytosine(should be equal in any species DNA)

  
  

• Kind of virus that infects bacteria.
