The fingerprint that’s inside your body!!!!!!

2. DNA

3. Fun DNA Facts!
DNA is too small to see, but under a microscope it looks like a twisted up ladder! And located in the nucleus.
DNA stands for: D: Deoxyribose N: Nucleic A: Acid
Every living thing has DNA. That means that you have something in common with a zebra, a tree, a mushroom and a beetle!!!!

5. Let’s Talk About DNA
DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) is the sequence of nitrogen base pairs that determines the structure of proteins and serves as the genetic code of life.
Contains instructions for making proteins.
“Double Helix” shape; looks like a twisted ladder or spiral staircase

6. Nitrogen Base Pairs
Adenine pairs with Thymine in DNA and Uracil when found in RNA
Cytosine only pairs with Guanine when found in DNA and RNA
Guanine only pairs with Cytosine when found in DNA and RNA
Thymine only pairs with Adenine when found in DNA

7. The Replication Process pg 61-62 http://www. dnatube
Begins when the two sides of the DNA Molecule unwind and separate (like a zipper unzipping)
Next, the nitrogen bases that are floating in the nucleus will pair up with the bases on each half of the DNA Molecule. (New bases pair with the bases on each old strand.)
Once the new bases are attached, two new DNA molecules are formed. Therefore, there are now two identical DNA strands that have just formed.

8. You can tell people apart by their fingerprints…
Because everyone’s fingerprints are different!

9. DNA is like a fingerprint because everyone’s is a little different!
How does the police look at DNA to figure out who committed a crime?

10. RNA RNA is ribonucluic acid and is very similar to DNA except:
RNA has ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar
RNA has uracil instead of Thymine
RNA is a single strand.
RNA is needed to make proteins
There are three different types of RNA
messanger RNA (mRNA)
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
transfer RNA (tRNA)
mRNA carries the message or code outside the nucleus
rRNA makes up part of the ribosome
tRNA brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome to make proteins.

11. Transcription Translation
Produces single stranded molecule of RNA
Translation
Translation is how cells translate the language or code
DNA is the cookbook, and mRNA is the recipe, then the ribosome is the kitchen and tRNA is the chef!
