After Watson and Crick proposed the double helix model of DNA, three models for DNA replication were proposed: conservative, semiconservative and dispersive. The following figures illustrate the Meselson and Stahl experiment, which demonstrated the correctness of the semiconservative model of DNA replication N15 N14 How would the results be if the correct model was the conservative or dispersive: 1. Conservative: 20 40 60 80 Time (min.) 2. Dispersive 20 40 60 80 Time (min.)
It was Rosalind Franklin that helped Watson and Crick realize that the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA would be facing outwardly and the nitrogen bases would be facing inwardly in the double helix. What properties of these molecules made her so sure of that?
Chargaff discovered that the A-T bond has the same width as the G-C bond. What implication does this have for the structure of the DNA molecule? It means that the molecule will vary in width as you move down its length, depending on the number of A-T and G-C nucleotides. It means that the molecule will be very hydrophilic, because nucleotides are hydrophilic. It means that DNA was the first life form on Earth. It means that the molecule will...
Which of the following statements is true regarding the discovery of the double helix? Choose 1 answer: (A) It was discovered that double-stranded DNA is a parallel molecule. Rosalind Franklin's x-ray crystallography provided Watson and Crick with important data that helped determine the structure of DNA. The experiments that led to the discovery of the double helix ultimately disproved Chargaff's rules regarding nitrogenous bases. James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine...
3.) It was Rosalind Franklin that helped Watson and Crick realize that the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA would be facing outwardly and the nitrogen bases would be facing inwardly in the double helix. What properties of these molecules made her so sure of that? 4.) Enzymes are often named for what they do, that is, the reaction that they catalyze. Give three examples of enzymes like that from this chapter, giving the enzyme and its function. 5.) During DNA replication,...
What kind of data on DNA structure was gathered by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins? a. 3D model b. X-ray diffraction pattern data Oc Relative ratios of nucleotides across species d. Poly.A tail composition

The Evidence: 1949-1952 1949: Erwin Chargaff, a biochemist, reports that DNA composition is species-specific, that is, the amount of DNA and its nitrogenous bases varies from one species to another. In addition, Chargaff finds that the amount of adenine equals the amount of thymine, and the amount of quanine equals the amount of cytosine in DNA from every species....
