1
Chapter 28 DNA-Life’s Code Learn the parts of DNA Understand DNA replication Understand how DNA mutates Biotechnology
3
Bacterial Transformation Experiment Fred Griffith 1928 Injected mice with bacteria Smooth:pneumonia bacteria Rough: harmless bacteria
6
Transforming Principle Chemical that causes harmless bacteria to transform into pneumonia Transforming principle = DNA
7
DNA Chemical of heredity Deoxyribonucleic Acid 1.Sugar (Deoxyribose) 2.Phosphate 3.Nitrogen Base
8
Nucleotide 3 parts combined into one subunit Join together to form an entire DNA
10
4 Nitrogen Bases 1.A: adenine 2.G: guanine 3.T: Thymine 4.C: Cytosine
11
Base Pairing Only certain bases can bond with one another 1.A bonds T 2.G bond C
12
DNA Structure Double Helix = twisted ladder 2 chains: nucleotides joined together Rungs: base – hydrogen bond – base Sides: sugar and acid
15
Replication of DNA Copies of DNA chain made during Interphase http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/#
17
Steps to Replication 1.An enzyme “unzips” the double helix 2.Unzips by breaking Hydrogen bonds 3.A new enzyme moves along the parent chain placing new nucleotides 4.Match base pairs; A-T; G-C 5.DNA molecule is a parent chain bonded to a new chain
