DNA Structure DNA consists of two molecules that are arranged into a ladder-like structure called a Double Helix. A molecule of DNA is made up of millions of tiny subunits called Nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of: 1. Phosphate group 2. Pentose sugar 3. Nitrogenous base

Nucleotides Phosphate Pentose Sugar Nitrogenous Base

Nucleotides The phosphate and sugar form the backbone of the DNA molecule, whereas the bases form the “rungs”. There are four types of nitrogenous bases. ATAT GCGC ATAT

Nucleotides A Adenine T Thymine G Guanine C Cytosine

The nucleotide: Nitrogenous bases Purines (BIG) Pyrimidines (small) From Kimball ’ s biology pages:

Nucleotides Each base will only bond with one other specific base. Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) Form a base pair.

DNA Structure Because of this complementary base pairing, the order of the bases in one strand determines the order of the bases in the other strand. ATC GCC TAG CGG

The backbones run in opposite directions.

DNA Structure To crack the genetic code found in DNA we need to look at the sequence of bases. The bases are arranged in triplets called codons. Codons are found on mRNA. DNA -> A G G - C T C - A A G - T C C - T A G MRNA ->U C C - G A G – U UC - A G G – AU C

A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein. Unique sequence of bases in a gene Produces a unique sequences od amino acids Creates a unique protein Results in a unique phenotype
