Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
? Bond
Covalent Bond

21. DNA is a double-stranded helix
Hydrogen bonds connect the nitrogenous bases holding the two strands of DNA together
The A’s on one strand Hydrogen bond to the T’s on the other, likewise for G’s and C’s.
(Nitrogen bases= H-bond)
Base pairing explains the % A’s = % of T’s

22. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?!?!
Why is it important that the sides are strong (covalent bonds) & the middle is weak (hydrogen bonds)???

23. They helped determine that DNA= double stranded
Important People!!!
They helped determine that DNA= double stranded
Erwin Chargaff’s Rules:
% of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) are nearly equal in DNA of many species the same for % of thymine (T) and adenine (A).
X-Ray Evidence
Rosalind Franklin took X-ray images of DNA.
Showed that the strands of DNA are twisted.
The Double Helix Model
Francis Crick and James Watson

24. The Double Helix
In 1953, JAMES WATSON & FRANCIS CRICK suggested a model for the structure of DNA.
Two nucleotide strands wrap around each other to form a double spiral. (spiral staircase).

25. DNA is a double-stranded helix
DNA makes up 1% of our body weight.
One cell = 3 meters of DNA.
Typed out in times 12 pt font your entire DNA sequence would fill enough paper that when stacked would reach the top of the Washington Monument in D.C.

26. DNA Replication DNA is copied through a process= DNA replication.
Each strand of the double helix has all the information needed to reconstruct the other half through “base-pairing”
Because each strand can be used to make the other they are referred to as “complementary”

27. DNA Replication DNA Replication= the process of copying DNA.
Video
DNA Replication= the process of copying DNA.
The semi conservative model: when a double helix replicates, each of the 2 daughter molecules will have old strand (parental or template) and 1 new strand.

30. 1. 2. 3. 4. Transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA
Transfer of genetic information in the RNA to a protein 4.

31. DNA Replication

32. Replication Replication takes place in the nucleus of the cell.
To get started you need:
DNA
Free DNA nucleotides
Enzymes:
1)Helicase 2) Primase
3) DNA Polymerase 4)Ligase

33. DNA Replication Helicase – unzipping enzyme
Video
Step 1: Double helix unzips
Replication begins at origins of replication
Helicase – unzipping enzyme
H-bonds break
Replication fork=point at which the 2 strands split
Step 2: Each original strand becomes a template strand (white)
DNA Primase adds a primer to the end of each DNA strand
Complementary bases fill in from the 5’ end to the 3’ end (opposite directions)
DNA polymerase – building enzyme – adds new bases one at a time.
Step 3: DNA Ligase “glues” together nucleotides on the lagging strand.

34. DNA Replication 2 distinctive ends:
5' (5-prime) and 3' (3-prime) ends.
the 5' end= a phosphate
3' end= a hydroxyl group.
**DNA and RNA polymerases add nucleotides to the 3' end of the strand (synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction).

36. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?!?!
Why is it important that the sides are strong (covalent bonds) & the middle is weak (hydrogen bonds)???
Allows the weak middle to be pulled apart so that the cell can make copies of its DNA.

37. Replication
Despite its speed (50–500 pairs per second), replication is very accurate.
It only makes approximately one mistake in every 10 billion nucleotide pairs.
Mistakes in the DNA sequences are called mutations.
DNA polymerases and DNA ligase proofread the new daughter strands and fix these mistakes.

38. DNA Replication

39. 1. 2. 3. 4. Transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA
Transfer of genetic information in the RNA to a protein 4.

40. DNA vs. RNA DNA stores the information for how to make proteins.
The 3 billion letter code is read in chunks= GENES.
DNA is made via REPLICATION.
Genes are coded instructions that control the production of proteins inside the cell.
RNA is a copy of 1 gene of DNA.
Because DNA is trapped in the nucleus , the RNA is responsible for getting the message of the genes out to the cytoplasm.
RNA is made via TRANSCRIPTION.

41. RNA- Structure Structure of RNA: Made of nucleotides: 3 subunits:
1) Sugar molecule -ribose
2) Phosphate Group (P and O)
3) Nitrogen Base (can be 1 of 4)
Guanine
Cytosine
Adenine
Uracil

42. RNA- Structure & Function
STRUCTURE of RNA
Single-stranded Nucleic acid made up of repeating units.
Sugar molecule is RIBOSE (not deoxyribose)
Thymine is replaced with URACIL (U)
FUNCTION of RNA
Responsible for the movement of genetic information from the DNA (nucleus) to the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.

43. 3 TYPES of RNA Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
Fill in the RNA strand

44. 1. 2. 3. 4. Transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA
Transfer of genetic information in the RNA to a protein 4.

45. Transfer RNA (tRNA) transfers each amino acid to the ribosome as the mRNA is read and the protein is built.
TYPES of RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the copy of the instructions to the ribosome.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) act as the structure for the ribosome.
The Gene Scene

46. T R A N S C I P O
RNA is produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence of RNA, this is called transcription.
NUCLEUS

47. T R A N S C I P O Step 1: Helicase unzips the DNA
Step 2: RNA polymerase begins transcription at a DNA sequence called the PROMOTER.
Step 3: RNA polymerase builds the complementary RNA
Step 4: Polymerase detaches when it reaches a DNA sequence called the TERMINATOR
1st Phase= INITIATION
2nd Phase = ELONGATION
3rd Phase = TERMINATION

49. RNA and Transcription
Animation

50. RNA Splicing DNA is composed of both introns and exons
Exons are segments of DNA that are expressed as genes
Introns are ‘junk DNA.’ They are not expressed and must be removed before the mRNA leaves the nucleus.

51. I think someone transcribed the wrong gene!

52. What must happen for Translation to begin?
Translation= the process of “interpreting” the code in mRNA to assemble proteins.
Converting the 3 letter words of nucleic acids to amino acids, the words of proteins.
What must happen for Translation to begin?
mRNA leaves the nucleus.
mRNA migrates to a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
= the site of protein synthesis.

53. T R A N S L I O The Genetic Code
Recall: Proteins are made of smaller pieces called amino acids.
The language of mRNA is called the genetic code, the code is read three letters at a time a “word”
Each “word” of mRNA is called a codon

54. T R A N S L I O DNA: AGG – CCG – TAG - GGA mRNA: Amino Acid:
UCC – GGC – AUC - CCU
Serine–
Glycine–
Isoleucine–
Proline

55. T R A N S L I O Special CODONS!!!
AUG – codes for methionine but is also known as the “Start” codon, this is how the ribosome knows to begin protein synthesis.
Stop Codons (use your genetic code to find them)
UAA
UAG
UGA

56. T R A N S L I O Step 1: A ribosome finds an mRNA strand
Step 2: As each codon moves through the ribosome the proper amino acid is brought to the ribosome by a tRNA molecule.
The tRNA contains the complementary anti-codon on one end and the amino acid on the other)
ANIMATION

57. T R A N S L I O Step 3: Peptide bonds form between each amino acid
Step 4: The stop codon is read and the new protein is released from the ribosome

58. T R A N S L I O rRNA= Ribosomal RNA A ribosome consists of 2 subunits.
Each subunit=
1)Protein
2)rRNA
There is an mRNA binding site and a tRNA binding site

60. Mutations A TAAGTGG T C C C C
Mutation – any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
Mutations can effect anywhere from ’s of nucleotides
Point mutation – occur at a single point.
Frameshift mutation- shift the “reading” frame.

61. MUTATIONS 1) Point Mutations= Substitutions
2) Frameshift Mutations= Insertions (additions) and Deletions

A U G U U A G A U
A U C G A A U C U U U

62. SUBSTITUTIONS: Point Mutations
Replacement of one base pair for another
Impact on protein synthesis:
No impact (if substitution still results in the same amino acid)
Nonfunctional protein (if change in amino acid and therefore the protein occurs)

63. SUBSTITUTIONS- Point Mutations

64. INSERTIONS & DELETIONS: Frameshift Mutations
Insertion – insertion of a base pair in the sequence (shifts all the pairs down one to the right).
Deletion – deletion of a base pair in the sequence (shifts all the pairs down one to the left).

65. INSERTIONS: Frameshift Mutations
Notice that the insertion of the base pair has shifted the entire reading frame down – all of the codons after the insertion are different. This usually has disastrous effects on protein synthesis.

66. DELETIONS: Frameshift Mutations
Deletion – deletion of a base pair in the sequence (shifts all the pairs down one to the left).

67. Insertions and Deletions
INSERTIONS & DELETIONS: Frameshift Mutations

68. Mutations
Mutagenesis – production of mutations occurs for many reasons:
Spontaneous Mutations occur during replication.
Environmental Mutations occur as the result of exposure to a mutagen (physical or chemical agent).
Most common are: radiation, tobacco
Inherited Mutations are passed down from parents.

69. MUTATIONS Key Points to keep in mind about mutations !!!
Mutations are not always bad – in fact they are often good and are the source of variety in a given population
Spontaneous and Environmental Mutations typically occur in one cell in the body – these mutations only effect one area of the body (result in things like cancer)
Inherited Mutations occur in every cell in the body – these mutations, if harmful, can result in things like Tay Sachs, Sickle Cell or even ALD.
