NOTES: 12.1 - DNA (History; Identifying the Substance of Genes)

What we’ve learned so far… ● Cells make proteins ● Genetic information is passed on through chromosomes ● Compacted DNA and proteins = chromosomes ● Genetic information is stored in the nucleus ● Genetic information is essential; each cell must receive all info. (ensured by MITOSIS)

Identifying the Substance of Genes… To truly understand genetics, biologists first had to discover the chemical nature of the gene. How do genes control what you look like?

12-1 DNA Vocabulary: Key Concepts: ● Transformation ● Bacteriophage ● What did scientists discover about the relationship between genes and DNA? ● What is the role of DNA in heredity?

DNA’s “Experiment” History ● For thousands of years, humans have noticed that parents pass on traits to their offspring… ● What is the process and/or molecule that makes this possible…??

DNA’s “Experiment” History Frederick Griffith: How do certain types of bacteria cause pneumonia? The experiment that tested this question led to new knowledge. Genetic information could be transformed (passed) from one bacterium to another.

Genetic Info. Transferred

TRANSFORMATION ● Heat killed pathogenic bacteria had passed their disease-causing ability to the harmless strain ● Griffith called this TRANSFORMATION One strain of bacteria (harmless) had changed into the other (harmful, or disease-causing) ● Some factor was transferred from the heat killed cells to the live cells This factor might contain a GENE with information that could change harmless bacteria into disease causing ones!

Avery & DNA ● Oswald Avery’s group of scientists decided to repeat Griffith’s experiment to determine which MOLECULE in the heat killed bacteria was needed for transformation ● Made an extract (juice) from heat killed bacteria and added enzymes that destroy proteins, carbohydrates, & lipids Transformation still occurred! ● Repeated the experiment but added enzymes that destroy DNA Transformation DID NOT occur!!

Avery’s Conclusion ● Avery’s Conclusion: DNA is the substance that stores and transmits genetic info. from generation to generation

Hershey-Chase Experiment ● They studied viruses; specifically bacteriophages Bacterio = bacteria Phage = eater ● Viruses are made up of: DNA + protein coat ● Research Question: Which part of the virus enters the infected bacteria cell?

● They grew viruses in the presence of radioactive markers 32P and 35S. Sulfur is found in protein coat Phosphorus is found in DNA

Hershey-Chase Conclusion: ● after viruses had infected the bacteria, bacteria were collected & tested for radioactive 35S and 32P ● nearly all of the radioactivity in the bacteria was from phosphorus! ● Genetic information of the bacteriophage that was passed into the infected bacteria was DNA (NOT protein!)

No Sulfur! Phosphorus!

Hershey-Chase Conclusion: ● their experiment confirmed Avery’s results ● this convinced many scientists that DNA was the genetic material found in genes…not just in viruses and bacteria, but in all living cells

What does DNA do? ● Storing information: the genes that make flowers purple must somehow carry that information; blood type, eye color; patterns of development ● Copying information: before a cell divides, it must make a complete copy of every one of its genes ● Transmitting information: genes are transmitted from one generation to the next

HOW does DNA… Store information? Copy information? Transmit information? -first, we must understand the STRUCTURE of DNA!!...next time!
