Making Copies of DNA How Copies Are Made During replication, a DNA molecule is split down the middle, where the bases meet. The bases on each side of the molecule are used as a pattern for a new strand. When Copies Are Made DNA is copied every time a cell divides. Each new cell gets a complete copy of all the DNA.

ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How DNA Works Unraveling DNA DNA is often wound around proteins, coiled into strands, and then bundled up even more. In a cell that has a nucleus, the strands of DNA and proteins are bundled into chromosomes. A gene consists of a string of nucleotides that give the cell information about how to make a specific trait. Chapter C4

ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How DNA Works Genes and Proteins Proteins and Traits Proteins act as chemical triggers for many of the processes within cells. Proteins help determine traits. Help from RNA Another type of molecule that helps make proteins is called RNA, or ribonucleic acid. RNA is so similar to DNA that RNA can serve as a temporary copy of a DNA sequence. Chapter C4

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How DNA Works Genes and Proteins, continued The Making of a Protein The first step in making a protein is to copy one side of the segment of DNA containing a gene. This copy is called messenger RNA (mRNA). A ribosome is a cell organelle composed of RNA and protein. A ribosome uses mRNA, transfer RNA (tRNA), and amino acids to make proteins. You can see the steps of protein production on the following two slides. Chapter C4

There are three possible consequences to changes in DNA: an improved trait, no change, or a harmful trait. How Do Mutations Happen? Mutations happen regularly because of random errors when DNA is copied. Any physical or chemical agent that can cause a mutation in DNA is called a mutagen. Chapter C4

ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 How DNA Works An Example of Substitution A mutation, such as a substitution, can be harmful because it may cause a gene to produce the wrong protein. A simple change in an amino acid can cause a disease such as sickle cell anemia, as shown on the next slide. Chapter C4

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 1 The tension in the courtroom was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. The prosecuting attorney presented this evidence: “DNA analysis indicates that blood found on the defendant’s shoes matches the blood of the victim. The odds of this match happening by chance are 1 in 20 million.” The jury members were stunned by these figures. Can there be any doubt that the defendant is guilty?

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 1, continued DNA is increasingly used as evidence in court cases. Traditional fingerprinting has been used for more than 100 years, and it has been an extremely important identification tool. Recently, DNA fingerprinting, also called DNA profiling, has started to replace traditional techniques. DNA profiling has been used to clear thousands of wrongly accused or convicted individuals. However, there is some controversy over whether DNA evidence should be used to prove a suspect’s guilt. Standardized Test Preparation Chapter C4

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 2 Most of the biochemicals found in living things are proteins. In fact, other than water, proteins are the most abundant molecules in your cells. Proteins have many functions, including regulating chemical activities, transporting and storing materials, and providing structural support. Every protein is composed of small “building blocks” called amino acids. Amino acids are molecules that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Continued on the next slide Standardized Test Preparation Chapter C4

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Passage 2, continued Some amino acids also include sulfur atoms. Amino acids chemically bond to form proteins of many shapes and sizes. The function of a protein depends on the shape of the bonded amino acids. If even a single amino acid is missing or out of place, the protein may not function correctly or may not function. Foods such as meat, fish, cheese, and beans contain proteins, which are broken down into amino acids as the foods are digested. Your body can then use these amino acids to make new proteins.
