So…How much do YOU know about genetics? Writing Log today: Take the pre-test in your notepacket. We will learn about each of the concepts in the pre-test throughout this unit, and then we will take the post-test and see how well you did on the pre-test.
4
Section 1: DNA -What’s this stuff made of?
5
What do we find inside the nucleus?
6
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid Genetic Code Revised 10-10-2006
7
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid
8
Why is DNA important ? It is the genetic information in the cell. It is how genetic information is passed from one cell to another cell during cell division. It is passed on to you from your parents. It contains all the information a cell needs to function.
9
How do we know?
10
Hershey and Chase Injected a bacteriophage protein coat with radioactive Phosphorus-32 radioactivePhosphorus –No radioactivity in bacteria Injected a bacteriophage DNA with radioactive Phosphorus-32 radioactivePhosphorus –Radioactivity in bacteria produced subsequent bacteriophages with p-32 in DNA but not the protein coat
11
DNA James Watson and Francis Crick Rosalind Franklin
12
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid What do we call this shape?
13
Watson and Crick: Came up with the model we accept today as a DOUBLE HELIX Double helix: where the two strands are wound around each other
14
Do you want to build with building blocks? Did you play with blocks as a kid?
15
DNA DNA is made up of nucleotides Nucleotides are the BUILDING BLOCKS of DNA
16
NUCLEOTIDE: building block of DNA
17
Three parts of a NUCLEOTIDE: 1.Sugar (What the sugar called?) 2.Phosphate group 3.Nitrogen Base
18
Backbone : Deoxyribose Sugar and Phosphate
19
Inner Molecule: Nitrogen Bases
21
4 kinds of nitrogen bases AdenineGuanine
22
4 kinds of nitrogen bases AdenineGuanine Both of these types of molecules are called purines
23
4 kinds of nitrogen bases ThymineCytosine
24
4 kinds of nitrogen bases ThymineCytosine Both of these types of molecules are called pyrimidines

27
Plant Cell Animal Cell All organisms use the same four bases as a blueprint for that organism.
28
Plant Cell Animal Cell All organisms use the same four bases as a blueprint for that organism. If there are only four types of nitrogen bases, and those nitrogen bases are the blueprint for all organisms, how come we don’t all look the same? Why are there so many different types of organisms?
29
Before you answer:
30
Morse Code is a simple code of only 2 symbols…and yet it can be used to send complex information
32
1950 Chargaff Purines: Adenine, Guanine Pyrimidines: Thymine, Cytosine
33
DNA The three parts of a Nucleotides: Sugar (Deoxyribose) Phosphate group Nitrogen Base (A) Adenine (T) Thymine (C) Cytosine (G) Guanine
34
DNA The three parts of a Nucleotides: Sugar (Deoxyribose) Phosphate group Nitrogen Base (A) Adenine (T) Thymine (C) Cytosine (G) Guanine Sides of DNA “Ladder” Steps of DNA “Ladder”
35
Base Pairing Edwin Chargaff: In 1950, he analyzed the amount of each of the bases in the DNA of various species Erwin Chargaff Austrian Biochemist The area he was from in now in what is Ukraine
36
Base Pairing Chargaff’s Data (What do you notice?) Humans Fruit fly Corn Bread Mold Bacteria
37
Base Pairing Chargaff’s Rule: Chargaff found that the percentage of A (Adenine) equals the percentage of T (thymine); and C (cytosine)= G (guanine) % of A=% of T and % of C= % of G Erwin Chargaff Austrian Biochemist
38
Base Pairing Base Pairs: two nucleotides hydrogen boding together Adenine (A) will bond or pair with Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) will bond or pair with Guanine (G)
39
Hydrogen Bonding Turns out purines (Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)) like to bond with pyrimidines (Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T))
40
Hydrogen Bonding A (Adenine) and T (Thymine) have Two Hydrogen Bonds holding those nucleotides together G (Guanine) and C (Cytosine) have three hydrogen bonds
42
Section 2: What is a DNA Replication?
43
What is DNA Replication https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27TxKoF U2Nw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27TxKoF U2Nw
44
DNA Replication Before cell division, DNA is replicated Semiconservative Replication: parental strands of DNA separate, serve as templates, and produce DNA molecules that have one strand of parental DNA and one strand of new DNA. In other words,Old strands of DNA act as a template
45
DNA Replication
46
Steps of DNA Replication: Helicase unwinds double helix (breaks hydrogen bonds)
47
DNA Replication
48
Steps of DNA Replication: Helicase unwinds double helix (breaks hydrogen bonds) RNA primase adds a primer to parental/template strands

50
Steps of DNA Replication: Helicase unwinds double helix (breaks hydrogen bonds) RNA primase adds a primer to parental/template strands DNA Polymerase adds new nucleotides to create the complimentary strand to parental/template strand

Section 3: What is a gene?
54
Genes First let’s compare Chromosomes to a towel
55
Chromosome Chromatin = Long strands of DNA Chromosome : coiled up strand of chromatin The “X” shape is where the chromosome has been copied. ChromatinChromosome
56
How many chromosomes do we have in our nucleus?
57
How many chromosomes do we have in our nucleus of each of our cells? a. 23 b. 52 c. 108 d. 46
58
How many chromosomes do we have in our nucleus of each of our cells?
59
What is a Gene? Gene: functional unit that controls inherited trait expression that is passed on from one generation to another generation.
60
Genes In other words, Genes are pieces of our DNA that code for our traits.
61
Proteins from Genes Gene: Part of chromosome that codes for a protein
62
The Human Genome How many paired nucleotides do we have? (i.e. how many base pairs do we have?)
63
In 1964, Friedrich Vogel estimated that the total number of genes in the human genome to be ~ 6.7 million
65
What is a Trait? Trait = Any characteristic Trait
66
Inherited Trait Inherited trait = a characteristic that you get from your biological parents and…. a trait you are born with. It’s in your DNA! What are some examples? EX: (Write down one of your inherited traits)
67
Acquired Trait Acquired trait = a characteristic that you develop in your lifetime a trait you learn or pickup after you are born (not inherited from your parents) What are some examples? EX: (Write down one of your acquired traits)
68
Section 4: transcription and translation
69
What are grandmas good for?
70
What is DNA good for? PROTEIN SYNTHESIS: How proteins are made… which are coded from DNA AKA: Transcription and Translation
71
Protein Synthesis DNA RNA Transcription
72
Protein Synthesis DNA RNA Protein Transcription Translation
74
DNA vs. RNA DNA -Double strand -Sugar called deoxyribose -Bases are C G A T RNA -Single strand -Sugar called ribose -Bases are C G A U
75
DNA vs. RNA DNA Double strand Sugar called deoxyribose Bases are C G A T RNA Single strand Sugar called ribose Bases are C G A U U = Uracil
77
Transcription Using DNA to make RNA Happens inside the nucleus
78
Translation Using RNA to make protein Happens outside the nucleus
79
Protein: A chain of amino acids
80
Each amino acid is coded for by three nucleotides called…..
81
Codon: Three bases that code for a specific amino acid (Anticodon)
83
Anticodon: The three opposite bases

Section 5: Mutations
95
Mutations Evr made a mitsake in yourr spelng?
96
MUTATIONS! A mess up in the DNA sequence
97
Where do mutations occur? IN THE DNA!! (not the RNA) When do mutations occur? During replication
98
MUTATIONS! Gene Mutations (2 types) Changes in a single base Chromosomal Mutations (4 types) Changes in whole chromosomes
99
Gene Mutations Point Mutations Frameshift Mutations

MUTATIONS! Chromosomal Mutations (4) Changes in whole chromosomes
112
Chromosomal Mutations 1.Deletion: part of the chromosome is lost
113
Chromosomal Mutations 1.Deletion: part of the chromosome is lost 2.Duplication: part of the chromosome is repeated
114
Chromosomal Mutations 1.Deletion: part of the chromosome is lost 2.Duplication: part of the chromosome is repeated 3.Inversion: part of the chromosome gets reversed
