Across
  1. 2. helix the iconic, twisted-ladder shape of a DNA molecule, consisting of two strands spiraling around each other
  2. 5. the basic building block of nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA
  3. 6. experiment with bacterium was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” which led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information
  4. 7. discoveries, using phages for genetics (like transduction & DNA repair), and developing tools like phage display
  5. 10. Franklin her crucial work on the structure of DNA
Down
  1. 1. and Crick discovering the double helix structure of DNA
  2. 3. rules define the specific hydrogen bonding between complementary nitrogenous bases in DNA and RNA
  3. 4. his experiment with Maclyn McCarty and Colin MacLeod, proving that DNA is the "transforming principle" that carries genetic information, a foundational discovery for molecular biology and genetics
  4. 8. and Chase the Hershey-Chase experiment in 1952, which conclusively proved that DNA, not protein, carries genetic information, using radioactive labeling and a blender to show viral DNA enters bacteria to infect them, a pivotal discovery in molecular biology
  5. 9. Chargaff discovering Chargaff's Rules
