of DNA)
What are
chromosomes?
The number of
chromosomes in
most cells in your
body
What is 46?
A section of a
chromosome that
codes for the
production of a
particular protein
What is gene?
If we imagine a
nucleus to be like a
library filled with 46
books, what are the
“chapters” of the
books?
What are genes?

The components of
DNA’s backbone
What are
deoxyribose
sugar and
phosphate
molecules?
The charge on DNA
and the component
that gives it that
charge
What is negative
and phosphate
molecules
The type and number
of bonds that join a
cytosine to a guanine

The 2 men who

DNA’s structure
Who are
Watson and
Crick?
The scientist whose
student took this
famous X-ray
Who is
Rosalind
Franklin?
What this DNA proved about
DNA’s nitrogenous bases
What is A pairs
with T and C
pairs with G?
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
How Chargaff’s
data helped
Watson and Crick
What is it told them
which bases to pair
together in their
model (A with T and
C with G)
If 31% of the
bases in a
yeast cell are
A, this percent
are G
What is 19%
(If 31% are A, then 31% are
T, making 62% be A and T,
so 38% leftover would be C
& G. Half would be G and
half of 38% is 19%)
The place in the body
from which cells are
typically extracted
for DNA analysis
What is cheek?
The chemical mixed
with water before
swishing in the
mouth (in order to
help break cells
away from cheek
What is salt?
Dish soap lyses
cells. The literal
meaning of the
work lyse is what
this.
What is break/split?
During DNA
extraction, DNA
precipitates. To
precipitate means
this.

What is food coloring?
(Yeah, sorry. I couldn’t
think of a tough 500

What is
bacteria?
This is a
thermocycler.
What process is

polymerase (provided
by breaking it into
the 3 roots)
What is “enzyme that
makes many parts”?
poly=many
mer=parts
ase=enzyme
The process by which
DNA fragments can be
separated
What is gel
electrophoresis?
What pulls DNA across
a gel (what it is
attracted to)
What is electricity
(or a positive
charge)?
During
electrophoresis,
RFLPs get
separated based
on a difference in
this property
What is SIZE?
Based on an understanding
of the process of
electrophoresis, it can be
inferred that phore’s literal
meaning is (choose one)
a) To carry
b) To break
c) To combine
d) To repel
What is “to carry”?
(Electrophoresis literally
means “the condition of
being carried by
electricity”)
A segment of DNA has two restriction sites–I and II.
When incubated with restriction enzymes I and II,
three fragments will be formed–a, b, and c. Which of
the following gels produced by electrophoresis
would represent the separation and identity of these
fragments?
What is B?
(B is shortest, so would go farthest and C
is longest, so would travel the least)
Write a paragraph that meaningfully connects the
following terms:
cells
chromosomes
DNA
genes
proteins
traits
EXAMPLE OF GOOD
ANSWER:
Human cells contain DNA that is
tightly wound into 46
chromosomes. Each chromosome
has many sections that are called
genes. Each gene codes for a
protein and the proteins that they
code for determine an individual’s
traits (height, eye color, etc).
