| 2. | Ribonucleoside triphosphates |
| 3. | Deoxyribonucleoside triphospahtes |

| 3. | Recon | 4. | Cistron |
The central dogma of molecular biology was proposed by:
| 1. | Francis Crick | 2. | James Watson |
| 3. | Rosalind Franklin | 4. | Erwin Chargaff |
The unequivocal proof that DNA is the genetic material was provided by:
| 1. | Avery, Macleod, and McCarty |
| 2. | Hershey and Chase |
| 3. | Meselson and Stahl |
| 4. | Watson and Crick |
Hershey and Chase proved DNA as the genetic material in their experiment because :
| 1. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins were not radioactive. |
| 2. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA were radioactive. |
| 3. | Both 1 and 2 are correct. |
| 4. | Both 1 and 2 are incorrect. |
DNA replication is correctly described as:
| 1. | Semi-conservative and Continuous |
| 2. | Semi-conservative and Discontinuous |
| 3. | Conservative and Continuous |
| 4. | Semi-conservative and Semi-discontinuous |
According to Erwin Chargaff, in a double-stranded DNA
| 1. | The ratios between Adenine and Thymine, and, Guanine and Cytosine are constant and equal. |
| 2. | The ratios between Adenine and Thymine, and, Guanine and Cytosine are constant but are not equal to one. |
| 3. | The ratios between Adenine and Guanine, and, Thymine and Cytosine are constant and equal. |
| 4. | The ratios between Adenine and Guanine, and, Thymine and Cytosine are constant but are not equal to one. |
The backbone of a polynucleotide chain is made of:
| 1. | Sugar and nitrogenous bases |
| 2. | Phosphate and nitrogenous bases |
| 3. | Sugar and phosphate |
| 4. | Sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases |
