5118003426____ base pairs fit into ribosome at a time-translation
511800343mRNA____ is "read" 3 base pairs at a time-translation
5118003443mRNA is "read ____ base pairs at a time-translation
511800345Codona group of 3 base pairs is known as a ______-translation
511800346tRNA____ molecules, 1 side=anticodon (compliment of the codon) 1 side= amino acid-translation

511800354Alfred Hershey/ Martha ChaseProved that DNA was the genetic material of viruses. DNA now thought to be the genetic material of many, if not all, organisms.
511800355Erwin ChargaffAnalyzed the base content of DNA and found that the amount of adenine equaled and amount of thymine and the amount of guanine equals the amount of cytosine.
511800356Rosalind Franklinused x-rays to get pictures of DNA for studies. Found that it was a long fiber in the shape of a helix.
