What organisms did Griffith work with in the Transformation experiment?
He worked with mice and two strains of bacteria one was pathogenic and the otehr was not pathogenic.
What was the basic setup of his experiment?
He mixed heat killed pathogenic bacteria with non-pathogenic bacteria and injected it into the mouse. The mouse died and heat killed the protein but not the DNA.
Why were "heat killed" streptococcus pneumoniae important?
B/c the heat killed protein but not the DNA.

What was the most important finding in the Hershey Chase experiment?
That DNA went into E.coli therefore DNA is genetic material.
Structure of DNA is given credit to ________ and _________.
Watson, Crick
What does a double helix contain?
2 strands of nucleotides, antiparallel strands, complentary bases, and 5' and 3' ends.
What is semi-conservative replication?
Every piece that is replicated is half new and half old.
When, in the cell cycle, does replication occur?
S phase
Where do new nucleotides come from?
dGTP, dCTP, dTTP, and dATP
How are errors in replication often caught and corrected?
It is caught by proofreading enzymes and it is corrected with repair enzymes.
People with xeroderma pigmentosum are lacking _____________.
repair enzymes for thymine dimers
What is a thymine dimer?
One type of damage to the DNA
What causes formation of thymine dimers?
UV on skin
How does DNA unify life?
Because all organisms have the same bases.
How does DNA differ from one organism to another?
Because the sequence of the mitrogen bases are different.
What is the enzyme used in transcription?
RNA polymerase
DNA is ________ stranded and RNA is _________ stranded.
double; single
_______ is the base found only in RNA.
Uracil
DNA and RNA are both made in the __________.
nucleus
DNA never leaves the nucleus but RNA does. Where does it go after it leaves the nucleus?
cytoplasm
____________ makes mRNA from DNA.
Transcription
What three things must be done to modify pre-mRNA so that it becomes finished mRNA?
1. splicing/removing introns
2. add a guanosine cap
3. add a poly-A tail
What are exons?
DNA that codes for important protein.
What are introns?
junk DNA
Each codon specifies what?
3 nucleotide bases
How do you know what tRNA should be first?
The first tRNA must have an anti-codon that is complentary to the first codon.
Translation is another word for _____________.
protein synthesis
A __________ is a change in the DNA which could affect the RNA.
mutation
What mutation only affects one base?
Point
_____________ is a mutation where one bases of DNA is replaced by a different base.
Base pair substitution
____________ is a mutation where a base is deleted or an extra is inserted.
Frame shift
Why is frmae shift the most serious mutation?
Because it will change the entire reading frame of mRNA.
Is a mutation in an intron important?
No
What is the difference between translation and transcription?
Transcription happens when you transcribe the DNA which means you are making mRNA. Translation is when you put the amino acids in order.
Transcription occurs in the _________ and translation occurs in the __________.
nucleus, cytoplasm
Are Okazaki fragments made during transcription?
No they are only made during replication.
_____________ are the techniques that allow us to manipulate DNA.
Molecular Toolkit
________ is a way to make a lot of DNA fast and cheap.
PCR
PCR requires what?
A DNA of interest
Taq polymerase
thermal cycler
primers
deoxynucleotides
What is unique about Taq polymerase?
It can withstand high temperatures.
Why does the machine raise and lower temperature repeatedly in PCR?
Because it heats DNA so the strands separate and when it cools primers attach to the DNA.
_____________ are used to cut DNA in a controlled fashion and makes sticky ends on the DNA.
Restriction enzymes
Restriction enzymes often cut in _______________.
palindrome sequences
What are palindrome sequences?
Sequences that can be read the same way backward and forward.

Primers are made of ______.
RNA
What does DNA polymerase do?

DNA polymerase
When replicated DNA, okazaki fragments are made as ___________.
new DNA
_________ joins Okazaki fragments together.
DNA Ligase
Tell the story of DNA replication.
First the template DNA gives the format for making DNA and then the helicase separates the 2 strands and then primers are added to tell the bases that tell where to start and then DNA polymerase adds new nucleotides in a complementary fashion and then the DNA Ligase joins the Okazaki fragments together.
How do you make a library?
