Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

10 notecards = 3 pages (4 cards per page)

Ch. 16 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance

front 1

DNA replication

back 1

a molecule of DNA is copied

front 2

transformation

back 2

a change in genotype and phenotype due to the assimilation of external DNA by a cell

front 3

double helix

back 3

two strands and spacing of nitrogenous bases along them

front 4

antiparallel

back 4

two sugar-phosphate backbones, their subunits run in opposite directions

front 5

semiconservative model

back 5

Watson and Crick's model predicts that when a double helix replicates, each of the two daughter molecules will have one old strand, from the parental molecule, and one newly made strand.

front 6

origins of replication

back 6

short stretches of DNA having a specific sequence of nucleotides

front 7

replication fork

back 7

a Y-shaped region where the parental strands of DNA are being unwound

front 8

helicases

back 8

enzymes that untwist the double helix at the replication forks, separating the two parental strands and making them available as template strands

front 9

single-strand binding proteins

back 9

bind to the unpaired DNA strands, keeping them from re-pairing. The untwisting of the double helix causes tighter twisting and strain ahead of the replication fork.

front 10

topoisomerase

back 10

helps relieve this strain by breaking, swiveling, and rejoining DNA strands.
