AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function The structure of DNA and RNA  Genetic material of living organisms is either DNA or RNA.  DNA – Deoxyribonucleic acid  RNA – Ribonucleic acid  Genes are lengths of DNA that code for particular proteins.

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function DNA and RNA are polynucleotides  Both DNA and RNA are polynucleotides.  They are made up of smaller molecules called nucleotides.  DNA is made of two polynucleotide strands:  RNA is made of a single polynucleotide strand: Nucleotide

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Structure of a nucleotide A nucleotide is made of 3 components:  A Pentose sugar  This is a 5 carbon sugar  The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose.  The sugar in RNA is ribose.

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Structure of a nucleotide  A Phosphate group  Phosphate groups are important because they link the sugar on one nucleotide onto the phosphate of the next nucleotide to make a polynucleotide.

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Structure of a nucleotide  A Nitogenous base  In DNA the four bases are: –Thymine –Adenine –Cytosine –Guanine  In RNA the four bases are: –Uracil –Adenine –Cytosine –Guanine

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Nitrogenous bases – Two types Pyramidines Thymine - T Cytosine - C Uracil - U Purines Adenine - A Guanine - G

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Adenine

Guanine

Sugar phosphate bonds (backbone of DNA)  Nucleotides are connected to each other via the phosphate on one nucleotide and the sugar on the next nucleotide  A Polynucleotide

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function James Watson (L) and Francis Crick (R), and the model they built of the structure of DNA

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Base pairing  The Nitrogenous Bases pair up with other bases. For example the bases of one strand of DNA base pair with the bases on the opposite strand of the DNA.

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function

The Rule:  Adenine always base pairs with Thymine (or Uracil if RNA)  Cytosine always base pairs with Guanine.  This is beacuse there is exactly enough room for one purine and one pyramide base between the two polynucleotide strands of DNA.

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Nature of the Genetic Material  Property 1 - it must contain, in a stable form, information encoding the organism’s structure, function, development and reproduction  Property 2 - it must replicate accurately so progeny cells have the same genetic makeup  Property 3 - it must be capable of some variation (mutation) to permit evolution

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function Replication of DNA and Chromosomes  Speed of DNA replication: 3,000 nucleotides/min in human 30,000 nucleotides/min in E.coli  Accuracy of DNA replication: Very precise (1 error/1,000,000,000 nt)
