What are Chargaffs rules and how did they help Watson and Crick figure out the structure of DNA
Select the single best answer.
Watson and Crick determined that the DNA molecule has two helical strands. Each strand is made up
which consist of a base, a deoxyribose, and a phosphate group linked together.

What word most correctly fills in the blank in the preceding statement?
nucleotides
fatty acids
monosaccharides
amino acids
A protein structure is solely determined by the sequence of amino acids in the
primary structure. Suppose that you were to genetically engineer a new protein by
keeping the exact same sequence, but it was completely reversed in the order of
amino acids compared to the original. Would the new protein have the same tertiary
structure as the original? Why?

- Shown are the configuration of a gel electrophoresis experiment. Charged plates establish an electric field on a region of gel between the plates. A solution of DNA fragments, which acquire a negative charge in solution, is analyzed by using an electric field to drive the fragments through the gel. A drag force opposes the motion, causing the fragments to move at a constant speed. Larger fragments move more slowly, so the fragments separate by size to give a “fingerprint” of the sample. What is the energy transformation as the fragments move through the gel?A. Electric potential energy to kinetic energyB. Electric potential energy to thermal energyC. Electric potential energy to kinetic energy and thermal energyD.

- Zbbzbbzbzbzarrow_forwardSelect all that apply. Proteins vary widely in structure, whereas nucleic acids have rather uniform structures. How do you account for this major difference? Nucleic acids have simpler, uniform structures because they are primarily used for protein synthesis. A DNA or RNA molecule contains only four types of building blocks: purines, pyrimidines, furanose sugars, and phosphate groups. Nucleic acids play an essential role in protein synthesis. Proteins have very specific and limited functions. Compared to proteins, which are made of up to 20 different amino acids, the composition of nucleic acids is considerably simpler. Compared to nucleic acids, which are made up of many building blocks, the composition of proteins is considerably simpler. Proteins have many uses.
