3
Replace old cells Growth Repair cuts/ wounds Reproduction
4
Each cell needs a complete set of 46 chromosomes. Cells must replicate, or make an exact copy of the DNA to put in new cells. 1 DNA2 DNA DNA Replication
5
1: DNA double helix unwinds.
6
2: Hydrogen bonds break and strands begin to unzip.
7
3: Free nucleotides pair up with nucleotides on parent strand to form a complementary strand.
8
At the end of replication, two IDENTICAL strands of DNA have been formed!
9
Each new strand pairs up with an old strand two produce two DNA molecules each containing one parent (old) and one daughter (new) strand.
10
After DNA is replicated, a cell splits to form two cells that each get one copy of the DNA!
12
Riboonucleic acid RNA is used to make a temporary copy of the information contained in the DNA of an organism.
13
Messenger RNA (mRNA) Transfer RNA (tRNA) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
14
Single helix Single strand Backbone of sugar, phosphate Nucleotides: ◦ Adenine ◦ Guanine ◦ Cytosine ◦ Uracil
15
Where is DNA in a cell? Where are proteins made in a cell?
16
Information from DNA needs to be carried to ribosomes so proteins can be made. Why would it be a bad idea to send the DNA to the ribosomes? DNA Protein Manufacturing
17
Each cell only has one copy of DNA, so it has to be protected in the nucleus. Thousands of mRNAs can be made from a DNA template strand, but DNA is only replicated to make a new cell.
20
DNA mRNA transcription
21
To make a copy of something Examples: ◦ Rewriting or typing an old documents ◦ Typing the lyrics to a song ◦ Taking notes from a PowerPoint!
22
DNA contains all the information for making the proteins that make up our bodies. DNA never leaves the nucleus of the cell. If this is true, then how does the rest of the cell get information from the DNA?
23
1: DNA unwinds 2: DNA unzips
24
3: RNA nucleotides are combined by RNA polymerase to form messenger RNA (mRNA) strand
25
4: DNA rezips and winds up
26
mRNA leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore and travels to a ribosome
27
Proteins are made from the mRNA!
29
mRNA protein translation
30
In a ribosome
31
Transfer RNA- bring amino acids to ribosome in order to make a protein made of amino acids
32
Each 3 base sequence of mRNA is known as a codon and is specific for a particular amino acid.
33
1: tRNA molecule attaches to mRNA codon
34
2: A peptide bond is formed between amino acids.
35
3: tRNA molecule exits the ribosome. The ribosome shifts down the mRNA.
36
A: Attachment P: Peptide Bond E: Exit
37
A chain of amino acids= protein!
38
Protein gets shipped to a part of the cell to do a specific job. mRNA is broken down into bases that can be used to make new mRNA or translated again to make another protein
40
3 bases of mRNA= 1codon = 1 amino acid
41
There are 20 amino acids. How do we make hundreds of thousands of proteins using only 20 amino acids?
42
Each codon is specific to an amino acid.
43
One sequence ALWAYS tells a ribosome where to start an amino acid chain. AUG codes for met (methionine) Every amino acid chain starts with a methionine in humans. AUGAUG
44
Tells a ribosome where to stop reading a strand of mRNA There are 3 stop codons: UAA, UAG, and UGA.
46
What amino acid is coded by: ◦ GCU: ◦ GAA: ◦ CUA: ◦ AUU: ◦ UCG:
47
What amino acid is coded by: ◦ UGG: ◦ AUA: ◦ GUC: ◦ GAA: ◦ UUU:
