Chapter 10
1.Outline the history of our knowledge on DNA up to Watson and Crick. What were the main contributions made by each researcherâs key experiment?
2.Explain the setup of the Hershey and Chase experiment, what would the results have been if protein was the genetic material?
3.Draw the structure of a DNA nucleotide, labeling each main component correctly. How does an RNA nucleotide differ?
4.If a section of double stranded DNA contains 19% Adenine, how much Thymine is present?
5.You are a researcher studying the genetic basis of heart attacks and have been working to determine the expression levels of different genes that might contribute to cancer formation. You obtain the DNA methylation status of five genes of interest (the data are shown in the table below). The plus (+) sign indicates the level of DNA methylation; more plus signs correlates with increased methylation levels.Based on this information which genes would you predict to have the highest rate of transcription?
Gene | Methylation levels |
1 | ++ |
2 | +++++ |
3 | +++ |
4 | ++ |
5 | + |
