a. 35S-labeled proteins in the bacteriophage coat did not
enter the bacteria and thus were not participating in
providing directions for new virus assembly.
b. 32P-labeled DNA in the viral core did enter the
bacteria and direct new virus assembly.
6. Draw the basic shape of a deoxyribose molecule and show how a phosphate group
is joined to it when forming a nucleotide. Limit to no more than six nucleotides
and their compliments.

7. Show how each nucleotide base would be joined to the sugar-phosphate
combination drawn in objective 6. See above
8. DNA is composed of double-ring nucleotides known as
__purines________ and single-ring nucleotides known as
_pyrimidines________; the two purines are _____adenine_____ and
_guanine_________, while the two pyrimidines in DNA are __________
and __________.
9. Assume that the two parent strands of DNA have been separated and that the base
sequence on one parent strand is A-T-T-C-G-C; the base sequence that will
complement that parent strand is _T-A-A-G-C-G_________.
10. List the pieces of information about DNA structure that Rosalind Franklin
discovered through her x-ray diffraction research.

11. Explain what is meant by the pairing of nitrogen-containing bases (base pairing),
and explain the mechanism that causes bases of one DNA strand to join with
bases of the other strand.
4
13. Explain what is meant by "each parent strand is conserved in each new DNA
molecule."
Strand assembly proceeds from the 5’ end to the 3’ end of the DNA.
This is done continuously along the strand.

16. Describe the process of making a genetically identical copy of yourself.
Obtain an enucleated egg and a stem cell nuclei (yours). Insert the stem
cell nucleus into the enucleated egg. Incubate. At the 8 cell stage,
implant the young embryo (morula) into a surrogate uterus. Be patient
as 9 months of gestation is required! Pass out the cigars!
