1. Discovering the structure of DNA
DNA = Deoxyribose nucleic acid
Made out of sugars (deoxyribose), phosphates
and nitrogen bases

2. Discovering the structure of DNA
Structure was discovered in 1953 by James
Watson and Francis Crick
And I got to hang out with Watson!!!

3. Discovering the structure of DNA
Rosalind Franklin’s DNA image
“Chargoff’s rule”
A = T & C = G

4. Cell division and DNA replication
Cells divide
Growth, Repair, Replacement
Before cells divide they have to double cell
structures, organelles and their genetic
information

5. DNA replication
