DNA Structure Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid One molecule of DNA, consists of 2 strands of repeating units called nucleotides The 2 strands are twisted into a double helix

DNA: The monomers Deoxyribonucleic acid Made up of lots of nucleotides joined together. Phosphate A nitrogenous base Ribose sugar (RNA) Deoxyribose sugar (DNA)

DNA: The bases There are 4 different bases Guanine Cytosine Adenine Thymine Adenine and Guanine are Purine bases. Cytosine, Thymine and Uracil are Pyramidine bases.

DNA: The sugar phosphate backbone DNA is a polymer of mononucleotides. Mononucleotides join together between the phosphate of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the adjoining nucleotide. Really strong bond

DNA: A polynucleotide The sugar and phosphate units make up the “backbone” of the nucleic acid. one nucleotide A base is attached to each sugar molecule.

DNA: Base pairing The two strands of the double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases. Hydrogen bonds are singularly very weak but collectively can be very strong.

DNA: Complementary base pairing Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine A and T are complimentary base pairs. C and G are complimentary base pairs.

Double helix structure of DNA

3D model of DNA double helix

What is the function of DNA Heredity material responsible for passing genetic information from cell to cell. How is it adapted to do its job? Stable 2 strands can separate so it can self-replicate. Large molecule that carries LOTS of information Base pairing prevents corruption from outside chemicals or physical forces.

Protein synthesis: Transcription Learning Intentions Identify the differences between RNA and DNA Describe the process of Transcription

What is the function of DNA? The function of DNA is to code for proteins. Not all of the DNA molecule codes for proteins. The functional part of DNA that can is known as a Gene

RNA Genes are instructions to build a protein. Unfortunately the DNA that contains the genes can’t leave the nucleus. So a copy of the gene must be made. This copy is known as Messenger RNA or mRNA. RNA is another type of nucleic acid

RNA Ribo nucleic acid Structurally different in 3 ways from DNA. What are the differences?

Transcription Transcription is the name of the process in which a copy of DNA is made. The copy is known as messenger RNA This process occurs in the nucleus of the cell

Let’s have a re-cap!

The Genetic code The sequence of bases on DNA is a ‘codeword’ The four bases are ‘read’ in triplets. The combination of four letters in groups of 3 gives 64 base triplets. These 64 triplets code for the 20 amino acids. There is therefore more that one triplet that will code for each amino acid = degenerate Combinations of these 20 amino acids give rise to the huge variety of proteins found. The code never overlaps.
