Maybe you know this … All living things contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA, in humans, is located in the nucleus of all of our cells.* The DNA is.

Presentation transcript:

HISTORY OF DNA A. Frederick Griffith – Discovers that a factor in diseased bacteria can transform harmless bacteria into deadly bacteria. (1928) B.Rosalind Franklin - X-ray photo of DNA. (1952) C.Watson and Crick - described the DNA molecule from Franklin’s X-ray. (1953)

Watson & Crick proposed… DNA had specific pairing between the nitrogen bases: ADENINE – THYMINE ADENINE – THYMINE CYTOSINE - GUANINE CYTOSINE - GUANINE DNA is made of 2 long stands of nucleotides arranged in a specific way called the “Complementary Rule”

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

Nucleotide 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.

Nucleotides A Adenine T Thymine G Guanine C Cytosine

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

Nitrogenous Bases PURINES PURINES Adenine (A) 1.Adenine (A) Guanine (G) 2.Guanine (G) PYRIMIDINES PYRIMIDINES Thymine (T) 3.Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) 4.Cytosine (C) T or C A or G

BASE-PAIRING CG H-bonds T A Purine Purine Pyrimidine Pyrimidine

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.

G G A T T A A C T G C A T C

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. A G G - C T C - A A G - T C C - T A G T C C - G A G - T T C - A G G - A T C

A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein. Each unique gene has a unique sequence of bases. This unique sequence of bases will code for the production of a unique protein. It is these proteins and combination of proteins that give us a unique phenotype.
