Francis Crick. Q. 6. What is central dogma in molecular biology? Ans. The flow of information from DNA -» RNA -> Protein is called central dogma in molecular biology. Replication—– transcription translation DNA -————- —» In RNA——————— » Protein Q.

7. What is the term ‘ beads-on-a string’ stand for? Ans. It stands for nucleosomes in a chromatin. Q. 8. What was the conclusion of Griffith’s mice experiment? Ans.

When the heat killed S-type bacteria mixed with R-type bacteria was injected to mice it transformed the R type to S type bacteria and killed the mice due to pneumonia. Q. 9. What was the work of O. Avery, C. Macleod and M. Mccarty? Ans. They isolated the material that transformed R type bacteria into S type bacteriade.

It was DNA. Q. 10. Whose experiments proved that DNA is the genetic material? Ans. A. Hershey and Marks chase on bacteriophages. Q.

11. Mention the dual role/functions of deoxyribonucleotides triphosphates in a cell. Ans. (1) Act as substrates for polymerization (2) Provide energy for polymerization Q. 12.
