| 519416996 | ligase | enzyme that "glues together" Okazaki fragments | |
| 519416997 | helicase | enzyme that unwinds and separates 2 DNA strands prior to replication | |
| 519416998 | two | number of strands in a DNA molecule | |
| 519416999 | cytosine and thymine | pyrimidines | |
| 519417000 | Franklin | scientist famous for photo 51 | |
| 519417001 | Watson and Crick | credited with the discovery of the double helix | |
| 519417002 | Chargaff | his rules stated that adenine = thymine and guanine = cytosine | |
| 519417003 | replication | the copying of DNA | |
| 519417004 | Griffith and Avery | Two scientists who performed experiments with mice and bacteria showing that cells can be "transformed" | |
| 519417005 | Hershey and Chase | Scientists that proved DNA is the genetic material, not protein | |

| 519417007 | nucleotide | monomer of a nucleic acid | |
| 519417008 | polymerase | enzyme that adds complimentary nucleotides to a growing strand of DNA | |
| 519417009 | 3' | additional nucleotides can only be added to this end | |
| 519417010 | antiparallel | DNA strands are said to be _____, because they are "upside down" with respect to each other | |
| 519417011 | phosphate | IN DNA, this group is always attached to the 5' carbons of the pentose sugar | |
| 519417012 | hydrogen bonds | hold the two DNA strands together | |
