  7. The Structure of DNA What is DNA?

  8. A bit about DNA… • DNA is the genetic material found in cells • Stands for: “DeoxyriboNucleicAcid” • Is made up of repeating nucleotides • It’s the “Unit of Heredity”

  9. Where is it found? • DNA is found in the cytoplasmof prokaryotes and the nucleus of eukaryotes • The nucleus of a human cell contains 30,000 or more genes in the form of DNA called a genome

  10. Function of DNA • Purpose: DNA controls the production of proteins in the cell • This is essential to life! • DNA  RNA  Proteins • “THE CENTRAL DOGMA OF BIOLOGY” (write this in!)

  11. Structure of DNA • DNA is packaged tightly into pieces called chromosomes that are visible during cell division • Each chromosome includes several thousand genes • Each gene contains the directions to make one or more proteins • Proteins are made of amino acids • These proteins play a key role in the way we look and grow…ever hear someone say “it’s in your genes?”

  12. Structure of DNA One Chromosome Contains many genes Each gene codes for a protein Ex. Keratin protein

  13. Specialization • In embryo, all genes on the DNA is “on”. This undifferentiated cell (stem cell) can develop into any type of cell. • Specialization occurs when certain genes are turned “off” and other genes remain “on” – making a particular type of cell Ex. Muscle cells and Nerve cells in your body have the same DNA, but they have different genes activated.

  14. But what does DNA look like? Think of DNA as a spiral staircase! • DNA is comprised of two strands that twist around each other, called a double helix • Discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953 • “Twisted ladder structure”

  15. Structure of DNA • DNA is a made of building blocks called nucleotides • A nucleotide is made of: • onephosphate • one 5-carbon sugar (called deoxyribose) • onenitrogen base • Adenine • Thymine • Guanine • Cytosine

  16. Structure of DNA • Nucleotides put together make up the DNA strand!

  17. Parts of DNA: Sides • The sides, or “backbone” of the DNA are composed of alternating phosphate-sugar groups

  18. Parts of DNA: Bases • Each “rung of the ladder” is made up of complementarynitrogenous base pairs • The four bases are A (adenine), T (thymine), G (guanine), and C (cytosine) • A pairs with T (2 H Bonds) • G pairs with C (3 H Bonds)

  19. Nitrogenous Base Pairs • They form weak hydrogen bonds that hold the DNA strand together and are the reason DNA can be replicated • A::T forms 2 H-bonds, and C:::G forms 3 H-Bonds

  20. Agenda: 2/22 • Grab a paper from the basket • Order of Operations: • DNA Extraction Lab • Finish DNA model from yesterday • Fill in “LEARNED” section on KWL chart • Time for vocab project • Reminders: 1st section of vocab project due 3/1!

  21. Agenda: 2/25 • Grab a sheet from the basket • Order of Operations: • DNA Replication Notes • Gummy Bear Lab • Time for vocab project • Reminders: 1st section of vocab project due 3/1 THAT IS THIS FRIDAY! Extra credit for turning it in early / it being colorful!

  22. DNA REPLICATION Making a new strand

  23. DNA Replication • DNA replication is the process of producing 2 identical replicas from one original DNA molecule • Replicate means “to copy” • During replication, the DNA molecule separates into two strands, and builds two new complimentary strands using the base pairing rules (A::T, C:::G) • The molecule is unwound and “unzipped” with the help of helicase, an enzyme!

  24. Steps in DNA Replication • Step 1: DNA unwinds, then “unzips,” exposing the N-bases (remember, the bases are ATCG) • Step 2: New DNA N-bases are added to each side of the molecule, making two separate strands • If the unzipped side read ATCG, then TAGC would be added to that side. Now it is an independent strand! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfZ8o9D1tus

  25. DNA Replication • Each new DNA strand (daughter chromosome) is made up of 1 strand from the original DNA (blue) and one new strand (red) • Called “semiconservative replication!” (add this)

  26. Complementary Base Pairs • Given one strand, you can always find the other strand using base pairing rules! • Let’s practice! • If the DNA sequence of bases on one strand was G C T A C A T, what would the complementary side be during replication? C G A T G T A

  27. When finished with the lab… • Place large bags on the back counter • Finish model and KWL chart (page 30) • Work on vocab project!

  28. BioFacts 2.2 10/9 7. What are the steps in DNA replication? 8. What is the outcome of DNA replication? 9. Given the following strand of DNA, what would the complementary side read? C T G A A T C G A

  30. BELLRINGER-10/20/15 • DNA is packaged into pieces. What are these pieces called? • There are thousands of genes on a chromosome. A single gene contains the directions to make what? • The base adenine (A) always pairs with ____________, while the base guanine (G) always pairs with _________________.

  31. Agenda • Place cell phones in a pouch • Be in your seat and ready to start when the bell rings! • Today’s Order of Operations: • Photosynthesis & Respiration Test

  32. The Cell Cycle How does a cell grow and divide?

  33. The Cell Cycle • The Cell Cycle describes the life of a cell from birth to death • There are three main parts of the cycle: • Interphase-Normal cell activities; broken up into 3 parts • Mitosis-The process of cell division (1 cell becomes 2!) • Cytokinesis-The division of the organelles and cytoplasm following mitosis

  34. Cell Cycle Detailed • Interphase is indicated in grey-it is the longest phase of the cycle, broken into 3 parts • Mitosis is indicated in pink-we will discuss the stages of mitosis later!

  35. The Cell Cycle: Interphase • G1 phase (Gap/Growth 1)-Period of cell growth • Cells can remain in the G1 phase indefinitely • Called G0 • S phase (Synthesis)-Period when DNA replication occurs • Once a cell copies its DNA, it must divide • S phase allows daughter cells to have exact copy of parent DNA after division! • G2 phase (Gap/Growth 2)-Cell growth and preparation for Mitosis

  36. The Cell Cycle: Mitosis • Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction-means only 1 organism required • Occurs in response to the body’s need for growth and repair • 4 stages of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase • We’ll talk more about this in a bit!

  37. Cytokinesis • The cell cycle ends with cytokinesis the division of the cytoplasm • Accompanies mitosis • This means one cell has divided into two cells, and those two cells can continue with their own independent cell cycles!

  38. The Cell Cycle • http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter2/animation__how_the_cell_cycle_works.html

  39. Regulation of the Cell Cycle • Cyclins-Proteins that regulate the rate of the cycle • Internal regulation-cell cycle can’t proceed until certain levels of these proteins are reached (ex. Poor nutrition cell stays in G1) • External regulation-cycle can speed up or slow down • Do you think a paper cut on your finger would cause the cell cycle to speed up or slow down?

  40. Cell Cycle Checkpoints

  41. Case Study: Cancer • Sometimes errors in the cell cycle can lead to cancer- • Errors can be genetic or due to an environmental toxin • Internal regulation error followed by external; cells cannot “feel” their neighbors, and thus begin uncontrolled division • Lack density dependence (tumor) and anchorage dependence (metastasized cancer cells)

  42. Cancer Cell Growth • From 1: 15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeUANxFVXKc

  43. BELLRINGER-3/23/15 Cytoplasm divides: 1 cell is now 2 • Label the diagram on the right with the appropriate stage of the cell cycle. • Why would the cycle need to pause at checkpoints before moving to the next stage? • Explain how cancer is related to regulation of the cell cycle. Cell Growth: Cell may stay indefinitely if it does not meet checkpoints Cell divides Growth and preparation for division DNA is replicated.

  44. Mitosis Stages of Asexual Cell Division

  45. The Cell Cycle • Recall that the cell cycle is made up of three main parts • Interphase (G1, S, and G2) • Mitosis • Cytokinesis • Mitosis refers to the division of the cell • Asexual reproduction for unicellular eukaryotes • Occurs in response to the bodies need for growth and repair

  46. More About Mitosis • Occurs in eukaryotes • 1 cell divides to produce 2 daughter cells • These cells are identical to the original cell same number of chromosomes!

  47. The Stages of Mitosis • What happens when the cell leaves interphase and is ready to begin division…?

  48. Stage 1: Prophase • What Happens? • Nuclear membrane dissolves • Chromatin condenses into chromosomes • Chromatin: uncondensed DNA (looks like spaghetti) • Chromosome: condensed DNA (looks like X’s) • Centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell • Spindle forms and spindle fibers extend from one side to the other

  49. Stage 2: Metaphase • What Happens? • Centromeres (middle of chromosome) attach to spindle fibers • Chromosomes are pulled to the middle of the cell

  50. Stage 3: Anaphase • What Happens? • Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart • Each sister chromatid moves toward opposite end of the cell
