DNA: The Genetic Material
Section 1 Molecular Genetics DNA: The Genetic Material Orientation The number refers to numbers assigned to five carbon sugar -see blue numbers On the top rail, the strand is said to be oriented 5′ to 3′. 5 prime end has phosphate group The strand on the bottom runs in the opposite direction and is oriented 3′ to 5′. 3 prime end has OH sugar group (Antiparallel)

Semiconservative Replication
Section 2 Molecular Genetics Replication of DNA Semiconservative Replication Parental strands of DNA separate, serve as templates, and produce DNA molecules that have one strand of parental DNA and one strand of new DNA. *Replication occurs in 3 stages: unwinding, base pairing and joining
18
Section 2 Molecular Genetics Replication of DNA Unwinding DNA helicase, an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix. RNA primase adds a short segment of RNA, called an RNA primer, on each DNA strand.
19
Section 2 Molecular Genetics Replication of DNA Base pairing DNA polymerase continues adding appropriate nucleotides to the chain by adding to the 3′ end of the new DNA strand.
20
Section 2 Molecular Genetics Replication of DNA One strand is called the leading strand and is elongated as the DNA unwinds. The other strand of DNA, called the lagging strand, elongates away from the replication fork. The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously into small segments, called Okazaki fragments.
21
DNA ligase links the two sections.
Molecular Genetics Replication of DNA Joining DNA polymerase removes the RNA primer and fills in the place with DNA nucleotides. DNA ligase links the two sections.
22
Comparing DNA Replication in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
Section 2 Molecular Genetics Replication of DNA Comparing DNA Replication in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Eukaryotic DNA unwinds in multiple areas as DNA is replicated. In prokaryotes, the circular DNA strand is opened at one origin of replication.
23
Chap. 12-Section 4 Transcription and Translation
DNA has the information/instructions to help cells perform their functions DNA cannot leave the nucleus-needs a process to get information out to cell-RNA is crucial to this process

28
Transcription Steps Simplified
Section 3 Molecular Genetics DNA, RNA, and Protein Transcription Steps Simplified DNA code is transferred to mRNA in the nucleus. Steps: DNA is unzipped in the nucleus and RNA polymerase binds to a specific section where mRNA will be synthesized mRNA strand created-DNA zips up mRNA strand modified-introns removed Modified mRNA strand-exon-leaves nucleus through a pore .
30
Intervening sequences are called introns.
Section 3 Molecular Genetics DNA, RNA, and Protein RNA Processing The code on the DNA is interrupted periodically by sequences that are not in the final mRNA. Intervening sequences are called introns. Remaining pieces of mRNA that serve as the coding sequences are called exons. DNA and Genes
31
The three-base code in DNA or mRNA is called a codon.
Section 3 Molecular Genetics DNA, RNA, and Protein The Code Experiments during the 1960s demonstrated that the DNA code was a three-base code. The three-base code in DNA or mRNA is called a codon.
32
Translation Steps Simplified mRNA attaches to the ribosome (2 parts)
Section 3 Molecular Genetics DNA, RNA, and Protein Translation Steps Simplified mRNA attaches to the ribosome (2 parts) tRNA carries an amino acid to ribosome tRNA lines up on ribosome using codon/anticodon sequence Leaves amino acid behind to form polypeptide bonds Long chains of amino acids make protein
