  9. DNA: The Molecule of Heredity • DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid; a type of nucleic acid • The building blocks (monomers) of DNA are nucleotides • A nucleotide is composed of: • Deoxyribose (a sugar compound) • A phosphate group • A nitrogen base • Ringed compound that contains Nitrogen

  10. Nitrogen bases in DNA • In DNA, there are four possible Nitrogen bases • Adenine • Guanine • Cytosine • Thymine

  11. The Double Helix • The three parts of DNA (sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base) come together to form NUCLEOTIDES • The nucleotides will link together to form two long strands • The two strands will connect at the nitrogen bases and twist forming a DOUBLE HELIX • The linking occurs with “complimentary base pairing”… • Adenine will pair with Thymine • Guanine will pair with Cytosine • The link that holds the bases together is a Hydrogen bond

  12. Let’s Practice… • A-T-C-C-G-A-T-A-C is one strand of a double stranded DNA sequence. • Write the complimentary DNA strand. • A-T-C-C-G-A-T-A-C • ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ • T-A-G-G-C-T-A-T-G

  13. DNA Double Helix

  14. Chargaff’s Rule… • Erwin Chargaff (1950) determined that in any strand of DNA: • % purines = % pyrimidines • %A = %T • %C = %G • #A+T ≠ #C+G

  15. Practice Problem… • A DNA sample was found to have 24% Adenine. What will be the percentages of Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine in this sample?

  16. Practice Problem 2 • In a particular sample of DNA, there are 17%G. • Determine the percentages of the other bases in this sample.

  17. Practice Problem 3 • A sample of DNA taken from a crime scene is found to have 200 base pairs (400 bases). Of the bases, 120 are Thymine. • Determine the numbers and percentages of the other 3 bases.

  18. Practice Problem 4 • A sample of DNA taken from a recruit at indoc into the Army is found to have 40 base pairs (80 bases). Of the bases, 22 are Guanine. • Determine the numbers and percentages of the other 3 bases.

  19. Prokaryotic DNA • The DNA in bacteria is different from the DNA in eukaryotic cells. • In bacteria, the DNA is a single circular strand of DNA. • Kind of looks like “spaghetti-ohs”.

  20. RNA vs DNA • There are THREE main differences between DNA & RNA • The sugar • In DNA it’s DEOXYribose sugar • In RNA it’s Ribose sugar • Number of strands • DNA is usually double stranded • RNA is ONLY single stranded • Nitrogen Bases • DNA • Adenine pairs with Thymine • Guanine pairs with Cytosine • RNA • Adenine pairs with Uracil • Guanine pairs with Cytosine

  21. Why DNA? • Segments of DNA code for proteins • Each set of three base pairs codes for a particular amino acids • The three bases are called the codon • Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins • Since 3 bases pairs are involved, the DNA code is often called the triplet code • There are 64 possible codon combinations given the four nitrogen bases combined into triplets

  22. DNA & Chromosomes • When comparing the chromosomes of two different organisms, you’ll find that both contain DNA with the same bases • The ORDER of the nucleotides is what makes the organisms different • The more closely related two organisms are, the more alike their order of nucleotides will be.

  23. Genes & Chromosomes • Genes • Small pieces of DNA that code for a specific trait • Chromosomes • Collection of genes that are wound in the shape of an X (when ready for cell division) • Half of a chromosome – a chromatid

  24. Video… • Bozeman Video…
