E N D
Fill in the missing bases: A T G G A C T C G G AA G T T A C C T G A G C C T T C A
What do the letters of DNA stand for? Adenine • A = ______________ Thymine • T = ______________ Guanine • G = ______________ Cytosine • C = ______________
Structure of DNA: • Which nucleotide bases are Purines? • Which nucleotide bases are Pyrimidines? Guanine Thymine Adenine Cytosine
Structure of DNA: James Watson • Who are the two scientists credited with discovering DNA: _________________ and ________________ Francis Crick
Structure of DNA: sugar and phosphate • What is the DNA “backbone” made of? _________________
Structure of DNA: • What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
Structure of DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid • What does DNA stand for? ____________________ • Sugar = Deoxyribose • Macromolecule = Nucleic Acid
DNA Replication • What is DNA Replication? A process in your cell that makes a copy of your DNA before mitosis.
DNA Replication • Why is DNA Replication important for cells and multicellular organisms? Every time a cell divides you need each new cell to have a complete set of DNA.
DNA Replication • When does DNA Replication occur? During S phase of interphase, before mitosis.
DNA Replication • What is a chromosome? Tightly wound DNA
DNA Replication • What is DNA Polymerase? An enzyme that copies DNA by matching complimentary nucleotides to the original DNA strand.
DNA Replication STEP 1 • DNA Polymerase breaks Hydrogen bonds of double helix apart. DNA
DNA Replication STEP 2 • DNA Polymerase matches nucleotides to complementary bases. DNA T T A G T
DNA Replication STEP 3 • Two identical copies of DNA are formed.
DNA Replication • DNA replication is considered ‘semi-conservative’. • “Semi” means: • “Conservative” means: Half Save
DNA Replication • How is DNA replication semi-conservative? Explain in your own words!
DNA Replication • Draw a picture of a chromosome without DNA replication, and one with DNA replication.
DNA and RNA • Why do we need DNA in the first place? DNA has the instructions for every protein our body is made of
DNA and RNA • Picture of how DNA is used by our body:
Background: DNA RNA Protein nucleus • Where is DNA Stored?________________ • What organelle makes proteins?__________ • If this is so, where are proteins made? ____________ • What problem does this pose? ___________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ribosomes cytoplasm DNA Cannot leave the nucleus to give directions to ribosomes.
Background: DNA RNA Protein • How does RNA solve this problem? RNA is a disposable copy of DNA that can leave the nucleus and travel to ribosomes.
RNA • RNA’s structure is very similar to the structure of DNA except for 3 major differences.
Thymine Uracil ribose sugar
Background: DNA RNA Protein Long chains of amino acids • What is a protein? _______________________
What are some examples of proteins? Make up all your traits – hair type and color (keratin), what color your skin is (melanin), what enzymes you have to break down food (lactase, peroxidase, amylase), how strong you are (actin/myosin)
Background: DNA RNA Protein Leave the nucleus • DNA can not _______________________ • DNA contains the directions to make ____________ • Proteins can only be made in the ____________ by _______________ protein cytoplasm ribosomes
Background: DNA RNA Protein • What problem does this cause? DNA cannot leave the nucleus to give directions to ribosomes.
Background: DNA RNA Protein • How does RNA solve this problem? mRNA is a disposable copy of DNA that can leave the nucleus to go meet up with the ribosome!
Transcription • Transcription: Making a disposable copy (mRNA) from DNA.
Transcription • Description Step 1: RNA Polymerase opens the DNA strand of one gene (example: keratin)
Transcription • Diagram Step 1:
Transcription • Description Step 2: RNA Polymerase matches complimentary bases to original DNA strand.
Transcription • Diagram Step 2:
Transcription • Description Step 3: RNA Polymerase is finished, mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to ribosome.
Transcription • Diagram Step 3:
Transcription practice • If this was the original DNA nucleotide strand, what would the mRNA copy look like? • DNA: A T C C G A A G T G A T • mRNA U A G G C U U C A C U A
Transcription Questions • What does RNA polymerase do? • Does RNA polymerase copy every gene in the nucleus? _______ Why? Make a copy of DNA called mRNA. No It only needs the piece of DNA (gene) that codes for the protein the cell needs.
Transcription Questions • Just like we read several letters together to have meaning as words, a cell reads three bases together as a code for an amino acid (one part of a protein): Every three bases is called a: • Examples: codon Proline, valine, isoleucine, tryptophan
Translation • Translation: Making protein from mRNA.
Translation • Description Step 1: mRNA leaves the nucleus to find a ribosome.
Translation • Diagram Step 1:
Translation • Description Step 2: A tRNA that matches the mRNA sequence clicks into place.
