DNA STRUCTURE DNA is short for deoxyribose nucleic acid
4
DNA
5
The structure of DNA is a double helix.
It is a double stranded molecule that twists like a spiral staircase. The outsides of the molecule, the railings of the staircase, are made of deoxyribose sugars alternating with phosphates. This part of the molecule is sometimes called the "backbone".
6
The inside of the molecule, the "steps" of the staircase, are made of the nucleotide bases
Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, and Thymine.
7
C bonds to G by three hydrogen bonds
C bonds to G by three hydrogen bonds. A bonds to T by two hydrogen bonds.
8
Complementary strands?
10
Complementary strands?
C and G always pair together A pairs with T (in DNA) and U in RNA) Always…for ever

Chromosome Replication
DNA replication is when chromosomes duplicate themselves. The first step is to unwind their double helices into separate strands. As the double helix of DNA unwinds into two parent strands, the ends of the different bases are exposed. Each parent strand becomes a template for copying a whole new DNA helix. Since the DNA structure can be rebuilt on both parent strands, two identical DNA helices are produced, each containing one original parent strand and one newly synthesized strand, called a complementary strand.

Difference between RNA and DNA?

RNA vs. DNA Vs.
31
DNA RNA Made up of the sugar RIBOSE
Made up of sugar deoxyribose Nitrogenous bases are Thymine Guanine, adenine, cytosine Made up of the sugar RIBOSE Nitrogenous bases are Uracil, Guanine, adenine, cytosine There are 3 kinds of RNA molecules
32
What are the three RNA molecules found in our cells ?
33
Messenger RNA Transfer RNA Ribosomal RNA
34
What are the 3 RNA used for?
35
Protein Synthesis Boss gives recipe to his worker .
Worker take the paper and leaves through the door and goes to the factory . Worker picks up the parts and assembles them.
36
All the parts are combined according to the directions
Final Product is made
37
Why is Protein Synthesis so Important?
38
Write an argument to support the statement that proteins do most of the jobs in your body.
39
Steps of Protein Synthesis
DNA molecule will unwind and the two strands will separate. mRNA will pair up with the complementary strands and transcribe the information.
41
Protein Synthesis: 2 steps
1. Transcription Formation of mRNA (messenger RNA) from DNA 2. Translation synthesis of Protein From mRNA
42
Translation: Protein synthesis
Three players: mRNA Ribosomes tRNA mRNA has the codons (code). One codon is made up of 3 nucleotides/bases that code for one amino acid each

Base-pair insertion or deletion Frameshift causing immediate nonsense Extra U Stop Frameshift causing extensive missense Missing Insertion or deletion of 3 nucleotides: no frameshift but extra or missing amino acid Missing Stop
