In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides, were made up of sugar, phosphoric acid, and several nitrogen-containing bases.
_____ (Q) Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand how it worked.
_____ (R) Later it was found that the sugar in nucleic acid can be ribose or deoxyribose, giving two forms: RNA and DNA.
_____ (S) Most people at the time thought the gene would be protein, not nucleic acid, but by the late 1940s, DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule.
_____ (T) In 1943, American Oswald Avery proved that DNA carries genetic information.
_____ (U) He even suggested DNA might actually be the gene.

{Bridge is a card game.)
We invited 12 women to come to the lab to play bridge with one another.
_____ (Q) We did not find such a T cell increase in the blood samples of the control women who did not play bridge, but sat listening to quiet music during the time the others were playing bridge.
_____ (R) The before and after data were exciting to us because we found a significant increase in their CD4-positive T lymphocytes.
_____ (S) Before they started playing, we took blood samples from them to measure the initial level of their T cells.
_____ (T) We were terribly thrilled with these results because, clearly, the cerebral cortex has a role in controlling the immune system, and our present task is to find ways to "educate" the critical dorsolateral cortex and keep our immune systems healthy.
_____ (U) Then we took blood from them after they had been playing for an hour and a half.

This mission to London marked the beginning of Bolivar’s twenty-year career as a public servant on behalf of freedom and independence.
_____ (Q) The constitution for the new republic provided for a federal structure, the legal equality of citizens of all races, and the abolition of clerical and military privileges.

_____ (S) On July 5, 1811, the Patriotic Society of Caracas declared independence and founded the first republic of Venezuela.
_____ (T) In March, 1812, a small Spanish force arrived from Puerto Rico, and the royalists helped them combat the republican army, which surrendered, forcing Bolívar to escape to New Granada to avoid prison.
_____ (U) Yet, in reality, it did little for non-whites: most were excluded from voting by a property qualification, slavery was retained, and the llaneros, the free-ranging horsemen of the plains, were alienated by policies designed to bring the llanos (plains) under private ownership.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! The Spanish Inquisition was meant to root out heresy. This is from a very funny TV show from England called: Monty Python's Flying Circus.
