I. Time Frame and History of DNA James Watson & Francis Crick 1953
10
I. Time Frame and History of DNA The Original DNA Model
11
II. The Structure of DNA A. Nucleotide
12
The Nitrogen Bases There are four: 1. Adenine 2. Thymine 3. Guanine 4. Cytosine Purines (2 rings) Pyrimidines (1 ring)
14
II. The Structure of DNA C. Base Pairing 1. 1 purine + 1 pyrimidine 2. T=A G=C 3. Only the sequence varies from organism to organism
15
III. DNA Replication A. Template Mechanism model
16
DNA Replication Semi-conservative nature
17
IV. Protein Synthesis A. Protein Synthesis Overview 1. Genes make proteins 2. Ribosomes 3. RNA
18
DNA vs. RNA CharacteristicDNARNA StructureDouble strand Single strand PurinesAdenine (A) Guanine (G) Adenine (A) Guanine (G) PyrimidinesCytosine (C) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Uracil (U) SugarDeoxyriboseRibose
19
Protein Synthesis C. Types of RNA 1. Messenger RNA(mRNA) 2. Transfer RNA (tRNA) 3. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
20
Protein Synthesis transcription translation DNA ---------- RNA --------- Protein
21
Transcription 1. DNA unwinds and splits. 2. Half of the helix. 3. RNA polymerase assembles mRNA nucleotides. 4. Parts of the mRNA are needed others are not. a) introns b) exons
22
Transcription
23
Transcription Example What mRNA sequence would be made from this DNA template? A-G-C-T-T-A-A-C-G-T-A-G-C
24
Translation 1. mRNA 2. Ribosome 3. tRNA 4. Amino acids are assembled 5. Start codons/stop codons
25
@ the ribosome…
26
Translation
27
Can you transcribe this DNA template to an mRNA strand? T-A-C-G-T-A-A-A-A-C-G-A-C-T-A-A-T-T
28
Protein Synthesis Here’s the answer: T-A-C-G-T-A-A-A-A-C-G-A-C-T-A-A-T-T A-U-G-C-A-U-U-U-U-G-C-U-G-A-U-U-A-A Now, translate this into an amino acid sequence!
29
Translation
30
Protein Synthesis The answer is: A-U-G-C-A-U-U-U-U-G-C-U-G-A-U-U-A-A Met His Phe Ala Asp STOP Protein synthesis is complete
31
V. Mutations Mutations 1. any change in a nucleotide sequence. 2. Substitutions - match the incorrect base in a sequence. -sometimes does not affect organism. WHY???? (these are called silent mutations)
32
Mutations 3. Insertions a. Extra bases are added to a sequence. b. can affect an entire strand of codons. 4. Deletions a. Bases are left out of a sequence. b. Can also affect entire strands.
33
Mutations 5. Examples: Original Strand: ATTCGCGTATAA a. Substitution: ATTCGAGTATAA b. Insertion: ATTGCGCGTATAA c. Deletion: ATCGCGTATAA How do these affect the proteins that are made?
34
Mutations B. Mutagens 1. cause mutations 2. physical or chemical agents 3. ex: radiation, x-rays, carcinogens 4. Most mutations are harmful, some can be helpful! 5. If the mutation happens in the gametes, or is in the gametes, it can be passed to offspring.
