IBE Is the DNA the same in all organisms?
J-TPS (Justify –Think Pair Share)
DNA structure is the same in all organisms
DNA is composed of nucleotides DNA is made up of a polymer (long chain) of nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts. A phosphate group A deoxyribose sugar A nitrogen-containing base
The Nucleotide Bases The nitrogen containing bases are the only parts in the nucleotides that are different.
White board DNA structure is the same in all organisms A. True B False
Watson and Crick determined the three-dimensional structure of DNA by building models These scientists discovered that the DNA molecule is a double helix that is made up of a sugar-phosphate backbone on the outside with bases on the inside.
Watson and Crick’s discovery was built on the work of Rosalind Franklin and Erwin Chargaff. Franklin’s x-ray images suggested that DNA was a double helix of even width. Chargaff’s rules stated that A=T and C=G.
Nucleotides always pair in the same way The base-pairing rules show how nucleotides always pair up in DNA. A pairs with T C pairs with G C G T A
The backbone is connected by covalent bonds. The bases are connected by hydrogen bonds. hydrogen bond covalent bond

DNA vs. RNA DNA RNA Sugar = deoxyribose Sugar = ribose Double-stranded molecule Single-stranded molecule Thymine bonds with adenine Uracil instead of thymine

White board What’s wrong in this sequence? AATCGCGUAACCGGCC
DNA is like a fingerprint because everyone’s is a little different! Revisit IBE DNA is like a fingerprint because everyone’s is a little different! You can tell people apart by their fingerprints……… and their DNA! How would the police look at DNA to figure out who committed a crime?

DNA replication copies the genetic information of a cell.
During what stage of cell cycle does DNA get replicated?
During what stage of cell cycle does DNA get replicated?
DNA replication – helix unzips
DNA replication – two strands are separated
DNA replication – each side is now a template
DNA replication – two identical strands of DNA Original DNA strands
DNA replication Newly assembled DNA strands
DNA replication Semi-conservative replication
White board question DNA replication is A. the process of making proteins B. the process of making RNA C. the process of making new organelles D. the process of copying DNA
Proteins carry out the process of replication. nucleotide The DNA molecule unzips in both directions.
DNA Polymerase DNA polymerase brings nucleotides together to form the new DNA strand DNA polymerase new strand nucleotide
Semiconservative model of DNA The process of making new DNA molecules is semiconservative; one original and one new strand of DNA original strand new strand Two molecules of DNA
Leading strand synthesis continues in a 5’ to 3’ direction. Replication 5’ 3’ Overall direction of replication Leading strand synthesis continues in a 5’ to 3’ direction.
White board “The process of making new DNA molecules is semiconservative” What does it mean?
