What is the purpose of histones?

• Histones are a part of the Flinstones
• Histones allow DNA to be wrapped and organized into chromosomes without tangling.
• Histones allow DNA to be converted into proteins.
• Histones allow for nucleic acids to be made for genes to be determined.

What is the function of DNA Polymerase?

• adds nitrogen bases during DNA replication
• adds sugars during DNA replication
• adds phosphates during DNA replication
• unwinds the parent DNA strands during DNA replication

What is the function of Helicase?

• adds nitrogen bases during DNA replication
• adds sugars during DNA replication
• adds phosphates during DNA replication
• unwinds the parent DNA strands during DNA replication

What does semi-conservative mean during DNA replication?

• One of the strands is "conserved" and used as a template to create an rRNA strand
• One of the strands is "conserved" and used as a template to create an RNA strand
• One of the strands is "conserved" and used as a template to create another enyzme
• One of the strands is "conserved" and used as a template to create another new strand

What did Chargaff conclude from his experiments? (PICK 2)

• Thymine is equal to Cytosine
• Guanine is equal to Adenine
• Thymine is equal to Adenine
• Cytosine is equal to Guanine
