1. Chapter 10 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance The Molecular Basis of Inheritance

2. codes for the Specific Sequence of Amino Acids in a Amino Acids determine the Protein’s Shape, which determine its Function. Proteins function as Biological Reactions Enzymes.

3. The double helix

4. Evidence of DNA Transformation - the process of transferring an inherited trait by an extract of DNA (Griffith) Mouse A is injected with live smooth pneumococcus He dies.

5. Mouse B is injected with live rough pneumococcus. He lives. The smooth pneumococcus are heat-killed and injected into Mouse C. He lives

6. Mouse D was injected with the mixture of heat-killed smooth pneumococcus and live rough pneumococcus. WHY? Transformation - transfer of genes from smooth to rough pneumonococcus

7. Smooth pneumoncoccus are virulent. Hard to kill by immune response Presence of slime capsule Rough pneumococcus are nonvirulent. Can be destroyed by immune response No slime capsule Transformation

11. STRUCTURE OF A VIRUS *Nucleic acid core of DNA or RNA *Capsid *Envelope *Extensions, filaments, or tail fibers *Bacteriophage

12. Hershey and Chase used radioactive markers to label the protein and DNA in a bacteriophage. = protein = DNA Phages infect the bacteria

20. Complementary Base Pairing: Chargaff’s Rule AT C G A particular organism is 20% adenine then how much: T= C= G= 20% 30%

21. The double helix

22. A model for DNA replication: the basic concept (layer 4) (a) The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C. (b) The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands. (c) Each parental strand now serves as a template that determines the order of nucleotides along a new, complementary strand. (d) The nucleotides are connected to form the sugar-phosphate backbones of the new strands. Each “daughter” DNA molecule consists of one parental strand and one new strand.

32. Enzymes Involved in DNA Replication Helicase - separates the two DNA strands by making a replication fork. DNA Polymerases (III and I) - binds the free nucleotides to the unzipped strand; replaces the RNA Primer with DNA nucleotides Single Binding Proteins – keeps the unzipped strands from tangling Topoisomerase – helps relive strain in helix RNA Primase – lays down the RNA primer Ligase – bonds Okazaki fragments after primer is removed
