  1. DNAthe Blue Print of Life Biology 10

  2. Understand that DNA is the Blue Print or Code that Controls all activities in living creatures • Growth • Repair • Hormones • Enzymes • Eye color • Behavior • Hair color • ……..

  3. You Probably know DNA like this

  4. DNA Developed you from this

  5. Head Spine

  6. To This

  7. Into this - Yikes

  8. But How did they ever discover DNA? The story begins with a curious experiment conducted by Dr. Griffiths with white mice…….

  9. What was killing these Mice?

  10. Hershey-Chase Experiment Researchers had to determine if DNA was genetic material and not protein 1. Was it DNA or proteins that was the genetic material? 2. Bacteriophages - viruses used a. protein coat b. nucleic acid interior (DNA core)

  11. 3. Radioactive labeling of protein & DNA

  12. 4. Results showed that DNA directed the formation of new viruses, not the protein coat

  13. Discovery of DNA Structure Components of DNA • DNA consists of a sugar, base and phosphate group • One of 4 possible bases: adenine (A) cytosine (C) guanine (G) thymine (T)

  14. DNA Structure – The Twisted Ladder

  15. The Nucleotide: • Sugar • Phosphate Group • Nitrogenous Base Phosphate Base Ribose Sugar

  16. Experiments – 1949 1. the amount of A = amount of T 2. the amount of C = amount of G 3. ratios vary by species

  17. X-Ray experiments • Used X-rays to examine structure of DNA • Observed that a. DNA is helical b. DNA exists in long strands c. DNA is highly repetitive

  18. Watson-Crick Analysis of DNA • Constructed a model of DNA structure • Phosphate groups from backbone • Double-stranded molecule • Base=pairing of A-T and G-C • Helical shape

  19. DNA Replication & Repair A. Replication 1. replication is semi-conservative 2. major molecules a. unwinds DNA strands b. DNA polymerase - copies DNA c. molecular glues seal newly formed DNA strands

  20. B. DNA Repair • DNA polymerase “proofreads” the new strands • Glues help to repair mismatched bases

  21. DNA Organization • Chromosome structure • DNA is organized into long molecules called chromosomes • Chromosome are stabilized by proteins called histones • Histones organize the DNA

  22. DNA has been Mapped – E. Coli DNA

  23. Plants have been able to Clone themselves and their DNA forever

  24. Scientists Did this with Sheep

  25. The Human Genome Project

  26. Science Fiction? Science Fiction?
