Review DNA
2
Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic acids nucleic acid
What are the four major classes of macromolecules? Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic acids nucleic acid DNA is a ________________ ?
3
DNA RNA What are two types of nucleic acids:
__________ or deoxyribonucleic acid __________ or ribonucleic acid DNA RNA
4
DNA What are the monomers (repeating units)
in DNA? ______________________ nucleotides nucleotide nucleotide nucleotide nucleotide nucleotide nucleotide DNA
5
P Base What are the three parts of a nucleotide? A Phosphate group
A Sugar A Base A NUCLEOTIDE P Base Sugar
6
What is this? A NUCLEOTIDE ? base phosphate ? ? sugar
7
four P Base A NUCLEOTIDE Sugar
How many different nucleotides are there in DNA? four How do they differ? A NUCLEOTIDE They differ In their base P Base Sugar
8
What are four different bases in DNA?
C G
9
Four different nucleotides
They differ in their base!!! P P Adenine Thymine Sugar Sugar The language of DNA consists of only four letters! Imagine that!!! P P Cytosine Guanine Sugar Sugar
10
Describe DNA DNA consists of two complementary strands of nucleotides shaped like a double helix the sides or backbone are made of phosphate and sugar and the inside is made of two bases A --- T C --- G
12
How do the bases pair up? A --- T C --- G
13
DNA What is this a molecule of? __________
14
base A nucleotide What molecule is this? ________________ phosphate ?
sugar ?
15
What is this a molecule of? __________ DNA
nucleotide phosphate sugar hydrogen bonds base nucleotide What is this a molecule of? __________ DNA
16
What is the complementary strand of the DNA strand below:
A C A G T T G C A A G T C C G T G T C A
17
A C A G T T G C A A G T C C G T G T C A A C G T T C A G G C
Determine the other complementary strand of the DNA strand below. A C A G T T G C A A G T C C G T G T C A A C G T T C A G G C
18
What is the duplicating or copying of DNA called?
One DNA What is the duplicating or copying of DNA called? 1 DNA replication. 1 2 Two DNA
19
Where in the cells does DNA replication occur?
In the nucleus
20
When is DNA replicated? During interphase
21
DNA replication occurs during interphase before….
before a cell divides
22
for growth and development.
Why do cells divide? To replace old or dead cells To replace cells destroyed by injury for growth and development. For asexual reproduction
23
The steps in DNA replication:
1. An enzyme unzips the double helix, separating the two strands.
24
2. DNA polymerase (an enzyme) attaches
free-floating nucleotides, one by one, to the exposed bases on each strand. Exposed bases Free nucleotide
25
One DNA 1 3. The result is two identical DNA molecules. 1 2 Two DNA
26
What is this process called?
DNA REPLICATION
27
What is this process called?
DNA REPLICATION
28
What is this process called?
DNA REPLICATION
29

DNA REPLICATION
30
What is this process called?
DNA REPLICATION
