Example text

Given the base sequence of one chain of a DNA molecule, how can the base sequence of the opposite chain be determined? 7. What part of the DNA molecule constitutes a code, and why can that part be considered as having hereditary information? 8. Why is knowing the structure of DNA important to the development of DNA technology? 9. Outline the experiments of Meselson and Stahl indicating a semiconservative method for DNA replication. 10. Explain the method by which DNA replicates itself in the cell.

In X-ray diffraction, crystals of a chemical substance are bombarded with X rays as the crystals rotate within the X-ray field. Electrons in the chemical substance scatter (or "diffract") the X rays, and a diffraction pattern develops on a photographic plate. The pattern gives a strong clue to the three-dimensional structure of the chemical substance. The effect is somewhat similar to creating ripples in a lake by tossing a rock into the water. 6 shows how X-ray diffraction technology works. 5 James D.

Although the components of DNA and their relative amounts were known, the spatial arrangements of the components was still a mystery. Against this backdrop, a young American graduate student named James D. Watson arrived at Cambridge University in London to study with Francis H. C. 6 Note that the percents of adenine and thymine are consistently similar, as are the percents of cytosine and guanine. ) Watson and Crick would do no laboratory bench work~their great contribution to science was interpreting the available data and putting them together to postulate a structure for DNA.
