GENETIC MATERIAL In the middle of the 1900’s scientists were asking questions about genes. What is a gene made of? How do genes work? How do genes determine characteristics of organisms?

DO PROTEINS CARRY THE GENETIC CODE? At the time most scientists believed that _________ had to be the molecules that made up genes. There were so many different kinds proteins and DNA seemed to be too monotonous... repeating the same ___ subunits. 4 proteins

1928 – Frederick Griffith looked at pneumonia bacteria trying to figure out what made people die Images from: S (SMOOTH) strain - killed mice R (Rough) strain -mice lived

If he heated the LETHAL strain first _______________ Images from: The heat killed bacteria were no longer LETHAL.... mice lived.

BUT... If he mixed heat-killed LETHAL bacteria with live harmless bacteria ________________ Images from: mice DIED ! When he looked inside dead mice, he found ______________ bacteria! Somehow the heat killed LETHAL bacteria passed their characteristics to the harmless bacteria. LIVE LETHAL

Griffith called this process __________________ because one strain of bacteria had been changed permanently into another. But what was the factor that caused the transformation? A protein ? A lipid ? A carbohydrate ? A nucleic acid ? TRANSFORMATION

1944- Oswald Avery’s team of scientists repeat Griffith’s experiments looking for the transforming molecule. After heat killing the LETHAL Pneumonia bacteria, he treated them with digestive enzymes that destroy specific kinds of molecules. If proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, or RNA’s were destroyed... ______________________________ Transformation still occurred!

But when they treated the heat-killed LETHAL bacteria with enzymes to destroy _____ there was NO transformation!... the mice lived! DNA was the molecule that caused the genetic change. DNA

GRIFFITH EXPERIMENT (PNEUMONIA-RAT) Showed ____________ could be passed between bacteria & cause a change. AVERY EXPERIMENT (Digestive enzymes) showed that the genetic material was _____ DNA genetic material

Scientists are skeptical… it takes more than one experiment to convince them Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase experimented with viruses that infect bacteria = _________________ Knew bacteriophages were made of ________ and _______ bacteriophages Hear about their cool experiment proteins DNA

HERSHEY-CHASE BLENDER EXPERIMENT Showed_______________ entered cell during infection. Conclusion: ______________in virus was _____ not protein only DNA not protein Genetic material DNA

BACTERIAL VIRUSES

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) Chapter 12-1 &

A. DNA Discovery X-ray experiments by Franklin led Watson and Crick to discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953

2. NUCLEIC ACIDS are built from subunits (monomers) called NUCLEOTIDES SUGAR in DNA is deoxyribose  Draw this

3. What are NITROGEN BASES? ___________= A ___________= G ___________= C ___________= T ADENINE GUANINE CYTOSINE THYMINE

4. DNA STRUCTURE Image from: ___________ STRANDED -Backbone (sides of ladder) made of ___________ & ________ -Antiparallel strands DOUBLE PHOSPHATES SUGARS

# of A = # of T And # of G = # of C A G C T Phosphate group  Deoxyribose sugar  5. CHARGAFF’S RULE © Pearson Education Inc, publishing as Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved

6.Complementary Base Pairing A - T G - C Image from: ________ Adenine always bonds across with____________ Guanine always bonds across with ____________ THYMINE CYTOSINE

7. DOUBLE HELIX Hydrogen Image from: __ _______ ____ bonds between nitrogen bases hold the two strands together _______ bonds hold the ‘backbone’together Covalent

What will the complementary base be? # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4

8. Primary function to store and transmit the genetic information that tells cells which proteins to make and when to make them Proteins... What do they do again? – form structural units & help control chemical processes within cells

If we all use the same 4 bases, what makes our DNA unique to us? The ORDER of our 3 billion nitrogen bases! /content/begin/tour/

B. DNA REPLICATION Chapter 12-3

DNA in EUKARYOTES is packaged into chromosomes Humans have approximately 3 billion base pairs (1 m long) 30,000 to 60,000 genes If the diameter of the DNA (2 nanometers) was as wide as a fishing line (0.5 millimeters) it might stretch as far as 21.2 km (or 13.6 miles) in length which would all have to be packed into a nucleus, the equivalent size of 25 cm in diameter. That is some packaging!

REPLICATION of DNA = The process of copying DNA in a cell 1. Why important for cells? - new daughter cells must be identical to parent cell

2.How DNA’s structure allows accurate copying Each strand has all info needed to construct the matching other half. When strands are separated, base pairing rules allow the correct complementary bases.

3. Semiconservative Model Each new DNA is combination of old strand and new strand

4.REPLICATION STEPS 1 st. Enzymes “unzip” molecule by breaking hydrogen bonds between strands. 2 nd. DNA polymerase joins new nucleotides using original strand as template. spell checks

3 rd. Copying happens in opposite directions along the two strands & in multiple places at once. Growth Replication fork DNA polymerase New strand Original strand DNA polymerase Nitrogenous bases Replication fork Original strand New strand

5. Accuracy DNA replication occurs with a high degree of accuracy. A combination of DNA proofreading and repair processes helps keep the error rate to one error per 1 billion nucleotides.

Some MUTATIONS do occur… DNA can be damaged by a variety of agents including chemicals and UV radiation from the sun.
