A pair of homologous chromosomes It was primarily the X-ray diffraction work on DNA by _____ that allowed for scientists to deduce the structure of DNA A. Louis Pasteur B. Gregor Mendel C.

Explanation / Answer

29. DNA polymerases synthesize DNA molecules from deoxyribonucleotides which act as the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes perform DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from a single original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two matching new strands. So, D

30.  As A=T and G=C, so 3'-TACCGATGC-5', D.

31. A. Template; duplicate.

32. The universal genetic code is a common language used by all organisms to transcribe nucleotide sequences of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to ribonucleic acid (RNA) and then translate to amino acid sequences of proteins. So, E.

33. There are 2 types of bonds that held together DNA double helix- covalent bond within each linear strand and bonds the bases, sugars, and the phosphate groups and hydrogen bond between a base from one strand and a base from amother. So, B.

34. B. Two identical double stranded molecules as helicase unzips the DNA double helix.

35. C.Rosalind Franklin
