Central dogma Correct Answer-DNA -> RNA -> Protein Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment Correct Answer-demonstrated that DNA is the genetic material because degradation of DNA led to a cessation of bacterial transformation Nucleotides Correct Answer-Basic units of DNA molecule, composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and one of 4 DNA bases Key bonds in nucleotides Correct Answer-Glycosidic and ester bonds glycosidic bond Correct Answer-Between the base and the sugar forms at 1' Ester...

What was originally considered to be the genetic material? Why? Correct Answer-Proteins were considered to be the genetic material because they were inherently more complex than DNA. Avery, McCarty, MacLeod experiment Correct Answer-First, think about Griffith's experiment and how even heat killed strains of S. pneumococcus still led to death of non pathogenic cells ⁃ Process: Grind up virulent cells, isolate the active genetic material ('transforming principle') and infuse it into non...

Bond between phosphate and sugar? - phosphodiester Bond between sugar and base? - glycosidic Non-covalent interactions? - H bonding, base stacking, electrostatic interactions Chargaff rules? - purine content = pyrimidine content adenine = thymine guanine = cytosine

What are some common bonds? - 1) Ester bonds 2) Thioester bonds 3) Anhydride bonds 4) Phosphoanhydride bonds 5) Mixed-anhydride bonds What does a high energy bond mean? - The bonds release large amounts of energy when hydrolyzed Which of these are high energy bonds? 1) Ester bonds 2) Thioester bonds 3) Anhydride bonds 4) Phosphoanhydride bonds 5) Mixed-anhydride bonds - All of them except the ester bond
