The enzyme responsible for unwinding and unzipping DNA in order for it to be replicated is _______

________ are placed down to keep the two strands from re-uniting when DNA is being replicated.

When DNA is being replicated and the strands are separated, Y shaped structures called ______ are formed.

The small strand of RNA placed down so DNA replication knows where to begin is called a(n) _____.

The enzyme that speeds up the rate at which complementary bases are added to the template DNA strand during DNA replication is called ______.

The direction in which DNA can be built is from the ______ to ______ position.

Which strand of DNA adds base pairs continuously?

The lagging strand has short fragment of DNA replicated that have to been joined by an enzyme. These short fragments are called ______ fragments.

There were a number of scientists who helped deepen our understanding of the structure of DNA. Which one or ones injected mice with different strains of Streptococcus pneumonia and found a "transforming factor" that turned live rough Streptococcus pneumonia deadly when mixed with the dead smooth strand?

After Griffith, a new set of scientists isolate materials from the Streptococcus, separating the proteins, lipid, and DNA to determine what the transforming factor was and found DNA to be the transforming factor. Who was/were this/these scientist(s)?

When scientists initially determined it was DNA that was the transforming factor, the experiment was mostly ignored because scientists felt that DNA was too simple to be the transforming factor. Therefore, ____________ conducted an experiment using bacteriophages, a type of virus that attacks bacteria.  They knew that the virus injected its genetic material so they used special dye to see what the genetic material  was.  They found that it was DNA and not protein.

Which scientist used X-ray crystallography to determine that DNA was a double helix?

Which scientist or scientists determined that the number of adenine nitrogenous bases equaled the number of thymine nitrogenous bases and the number of guanine equaled the number of cytosine bases?

Which scientists were given credit for our current understanding of the structure and replication of DNA?

The bases adenine and guanine are double ringed and are referred to as ______.

The bases thymine and cytosine are single ringed structures called ______.

You isolate a cell strain in which the joining together of Okazaki fragments is impaired and suspect that a mutation has occurred in an enzyme found at the replication fork. Which enzyme is most likely to be mutated?

What nitrogenous base does guanine pair with?

The shape of ________ DNA is circular.

The shape of _____ DNA is linear.

DNA replicates by which of the following models?

The initial mechanism for repairing nucleotide errors in DNA is ________.

A promoter is ________ onto which the proteins and enzymes involved in transcription bind to initiate the process.
