The document contains 32 questions about DNA structure, function, replication, and the scientists involved in key discoveries. It asks about the contributions of scientists like Griffith, Avery, McCarty, MacLeod, Chase, and Hershey. It also asks about the structure of DNA, Chargaff's rules, the discovery of DNA's double helix structure by Watson and Crick. Regarding replication, it asks about numbering of carbons, complementary base pairing, hydrogen bonds, purines and pyrimidines. It asks about the role of enzymes like helicase and DNA polymerase I, III, and telomerase in replication and the consequences of their functions.
