Questão 1
Questão
By observing bacterial transformation, Avery and other scientists discovered that the nucleic acid DNA stores and transmits genetic information from one generation of bacteria to the next.
Questão 2
Questão
Hershey and Chase's experiment with bacteriophages confirmed Avery's results, convincing many scientists that DNA was the genetic material found in genes-not just in viruses and bacteria, but in all living cells.
Questão 3
Questão
The DNA that makes up genes must be capable of storing, copying, and transforming the genetic information in a cell.
Questão 4
Questão
DNA is a nucleic acid made up of amino acids joined into long strands or chains by covalent bonds
Questão 5
Questão
The clues in Franklin's X-ray pattern enabled Watson and Crick to build a model that explained the specific structure and properties of DNA.
Questão 6
Questão
The double-helix model explains Chargaff's rule of base pairing and how the two strands of DNA are held together.
Questão 7
Questão
DNA poly merase is an enzyme that joins individual nucleotides to produce a new strand of DNA.
Questão 8
Questão
Replication in most prokaryotic cells starts from a single point and proceeds in two directions until the entire chromosome is copied.
Questão 9
Questão
In prokaryotic cells, replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule, proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied.
