13 Answer Key Molecular Genetics Practice 67. Hershey and Chase used bacteriophages to show DNA is the genetic material of the cell rather than protein. In two separate experiments, they labeled one set of phage with radioactive sulfur (which labels protein) and the other phage with radioactive phosphorous (which labels the phage DNA). They infected E. coli cells with these phage and then agitated the mixture to dissociate phage from the bacterial surface. After centrifugation, levels of each isotope were measured in both the supernatant and the pellet. Sulfur was only detected in the supernatant and not in the pellet while phosphorous was detected in the cell and not in the supernatant. By showing that the phage inserts its genome into the host and subsequently causes changes to the cell, Hershey and Chase proved successfully that DNA is linked to heredity. 72. The replication of DNA molecules begin at special sites called origins of replication. DNA replication 'bubbles' proceed in both directions from each origin and eventually fuse to synthesize the daughter strands of DNA. Helicases unwind the parental double helix. Single-strand binding proteins stabilize the unwound parental DNA. Base pairing (Adenine pairs with Thymine, Cytosine pairs with Guanine) enables existing DNA strands to serve as templates for new complementary strands. DNA polymerase synthesizes the leading strand in the 5' ->3' direction. The lagging strand is synthesized on a discontinuous basis. Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer, which is extended by DNA polymerase to form an Okazaki fragment. After RNA primer is replaced by DNA via DNA polymerase, DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragment to the growing strand. DNA replication is a semi-conservative process in that the replication of one DNA molecule yields two hybrid molecules, each composed of one parental strand and one newly-synthesized strand. 76. The three steps of translation are initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, a ribosomal subunit binds to a strand of messenger RNA (mrna). mrna, contains the nucleotide sequence produced from the transcription of DNA. An initiator transfer RNA, trna, with the anticodon UAC, carries the amino acid methionine. This anticodon pairs with the AUG start codon on the mrna. trna is a type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosomes for the production of polypeptides. The large ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller subunit, forming a complex. The initiator trna occupies the P site of the complex. The second trna and mrna move from the A site to the D site. The A site is empty, ready to accept the next trna carrying the correct amino acid. This process uses GTP as an energy source. The next step is the elongation step. A trna bound to an amino acid pairs with the codon in the A site. A peptide bond forms between the two amino acids through a catalyzed reaction once the bond between the trna and amino acid in the P site is broken. The trna in the A site, with the growing polypeptide chain, moves into the P site. The trna that previously occupied the P site moves to the E site and then exits the ribosome subunit complex. Elongation factors help in the formation of the polypeptide. The final step in polypeptide production is the termination of translation. When the ribosome recognizes a stop codon on the mrna, no trna is able to pair with the mrna sequence. A releasing factor moves into the A site of the ribosome. This hydrolyzes the bond between the last trna and amino acid, creating a free polypeptide. The ribosome is then able to dissociate.
