DNA Discovery Structure 40 questions Replication 1. Describe the two strains of bacteria Griffith used in his experiment with mice. • S strain (deadly) -produced a protective slime coating that helped it evade the mouse immune system. -caused pneumonia (a deadly lung disease) in mice. • R strain (harmless) -did not produce a protective slime coating and therefore was easily defeated by the mouse immune system. 2. What happened to the mice when Griffith injected them with the heat-killed S strain? The mice lived. 3. What happened to the mice when Griffith injected them with a mixture of heat-killed S strain and live R strain? + The mice died of pneumonia. 4. A process in which one strain of bacteria is changed by a gene or genes from another strain of bacteria. a. b. c. d. Transcription Replication Transformation duplication 5. Oswald Avery used ____ to degrade (break down) various molecules taken form heat-killed bacteria. a. b. c. d. sulfur enzymes toxins x-rays 6. What types of macromolecules did Avery use enzymes on. Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids RNA DNA 7. What kind of enzyme did Avery use to degrade bacterial proteins? a. b. c. d. carbohydrase lipase protease DNAse Membrane protein 8. How did Avery ensure the validity of the results of his experiment with bacteria and mice? a. b. c. d. He degraded only one type of molecule at a time. He used all the enzymes at the same time. He decided not to degrade proteins and DNA. He injected a mixture of degraded molecules into mice at the same time. 9. Bacteriophages are a. b. c. d. a form of bacteria enzymes coils of DNA viruses 10. What two organisms did Hershey and Chase work with in their study of DNA? a. b. c. d. Bacteriophages and mice E. coli bacteria and mice Bacteriophages and E. coli bacteria Bacteriophages and viruses Bacteriophages E. coli bacterium 11. Interpret this micrograph. Bacteriophages Lysed Bacterium Phages emerging Bacteriophages breaking out of a bacterium that has been infected. 12. What radioactive element did Hershey and Chase use to “tag” DNA? 32P (phosphorus) DNA 13. What radioactive element did Hershey and Chase use to “tag” the protein coat? 35S (sulfur) The amino acid methionine 14. Why can’t Hershey and Chase use to 35S to tag phage DNA? DNA does not contain sulfur. 15. What results did Hershey and Chase observe? a. The protein coats were injected into the bacterial cells causing transformation. b. Protein coats do not contain phosphorus. c. Radioactivity detected inside bacterial cells came from 32P and not 32S. d. Bacteriophages are good at infecting bacteria. 16. What can be concluded from the Avery and Hershey & Chase experiments? a. b. c. d. DNA is the transforming molecule. Proteins are larger than nucleic acids. Enzymes are good at breaking down molecules. The S-strain is more deadly than the R-strain. 17. Before DNA could be shown to be the genetic material in cells, scientists had to show that it could a. tolerate high temperatures b. carry, make copies of, and transmit information c. be modified in response to environmental conditions. d. be broken down into small subunits. 18. A nucleotide does NOT contain a a. b. c. d. 5-carbon sugar. nitrogen base protein phosphate group Phosphate group Nitrogenous base Sugar (deoxyribose) 19. According to Chargaff’s rule of base pairing, which of the following is true about DNA? a. b. c. d. A = T, and C = G A = C, and T = G A = G, and T = C A=T=C=G Erwin Chargaff (1905 – 2002) = A C = T G 20. Name the missing nitrogenous base. Thymine Guanine Adenine _____________ Cytosine 21. Use Chargaff’s rule to complete the table below. Organism % Adenine Human 30 % Cytosine % Guanine % Thymine 30 + ? 60 100 21. Use Chargaff’s rule to complete the table below. Organism % Adenine % Cytosine % Guanine % Thymine Human 30 20 20 30 + 40 60 100 22. The bonds that hold the two strands of DNA together come from a. The attraction of phosphate groups for each other. b. Strong bonds between nitrogenous bases and the sugarphosphate backbone. c. Hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases. d. Carbon-to-carbon bonds in the sugar portion of the nucleotides. T A G C 23. What is the term that describes how the two strands in DNA run in opposite directions? Antiparallel C G T A T A G C 24. Who took this photo? Rosalind Franklin Photo 51 (1920 – 1958) 25. What is this a photo of and what technique was used to make it? • • The photo shows the structure of DNA Rosalind used X-ray diffraction to take the picture Photo 51 26. List two things that Rosalind Franklin learned from her photo? • DNA has a double helix shape • DNA is made of two strands. • The nitrogenous bases are near the center. Photo 51 27. Who are these two men and what are they famous for? • • James Watson and Francis Crick. They won the Nobel prize for building the first accurate model of DNA.
