| Frederick Griffith did experiments on genetic transformation. What statement about his experiments is accurate? |
|
Definition
| Griffith found that DNA released from dead (virulent) bacteria entered live (avirulent) bacteria and changed them genetically, causing them to become virulent. |

Term
| All types of RNA in the cell are synthesized by what, which uses a portion of DNA as a template for copying. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what is made by copying specific regions of DNA called genes. Ribosomes use mRNA as instructions, which provide a code specifying the order of amino acids in a protein. |

Term
Conjugation differs from reproduction because conjugation
transcribes DNA to RNA.
copies RNA to make DNA.
transfers DNA horizontally, to cells in the same generation.
replicates DNA.
transfers DNA vertically, to new cells. |
|
Definition
| transfers DNA horizontally, to cells in the same generation |
|

Term
The necessary ingredients for DNA synthesis can be mixed together in a test tube. The DNA polymerase is from Thermus aquaticus, and the template is from a human cell. The DNA synthesized would be most similar to
human DNA.
T. aquaticus DNA.
a mixture of human and T. aquaticus DNA.
human RNA.
T. aquaticus RNA. |

| What are the products of semiconservative replication for a double-stranded DNA molecule? |
|
Definition
| Two double-stranded DNA molecules, each consisting of one parental strand and one daughter strand |
|
|
Term
| Why is DNA replication essential for a cell? |
|
