10 9 DNA Why do we study DNA? We study DNA for many reasons, e.g., its central importance to all life on Earth, medical benefits such as cures for diseases, better food crops.

11 10 Chromosomes and DNA Our genes are on our chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of a chemical called DNA.

12 11 The Shape of the Molecule DNA is a very long polymer. The basic shape is like a twisted ladder or zipper. This is called a double helix.

13 12 The Double Helix Molecule The DNA double helix has two strands twisted together.

14 13 One Strand of DNA The backbone or sides of the ladder of the molecule are alternating phosphates and deoxyribose sugar The teeth or rungs of the ladder are nitrogenous bases. phosphate deoxyribose bases

15 14 Nucleotides CC C O Phosphate O C C O -P O O O One deoxyribose together with its phosphate and nitrogen base make a nucleotide. Nitrogenous base Deoxyribose

16 15 Nucleotides CC C O Phosphate O C C O -P O O O O O O O One deoxyribose together with its phosphate and base make a nucleotide. Nitrogenous base Deoxyribose

17 16 One Strand of DNA One strand of DNA is a polymer of nucleotides. One strand of DNA has many millions of nucleotides. nucleotide

18 17 Four nitrogenous bases Cytosine C Thymine T Adenine A Guanine G DNA has four different bases:

19 18 Two Stranded DNA Remember, DNA has two strands that fit together something like a zipper. The teeth are the nitrogenous bases but why do they stick together?

20 19 C C C C N N O N C C C C N N O N N N C Hydrogen Bonds The bases attract each other because of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are weak but there are millions and millions of them in a single molecule of DNA. The bonds between cytosine and guanine are shown here with dotted lines

21 20 Hydrogen Bonds, Hydrogen Bonds, cont. When making hydrogen bonds, cytosine always pairs up with guanine Adenine always pairs up with thymine Adenine is bonded to thymine here C C C C N N N N N C C C C C N N O O C

22 21 Chargaff’s Rule: Base Pairing Rule Adenine and Thymine always join together A T Cytosine and Guanine always join together C G

23 22 DNA by the Numbers Each cell has about 2 m of DNA. The average human has 75 trillion cells. The average human has enough DNA to go from the earth to the sun more than 400 times. DNA has a diameter of only 0.000000002 m. The earth is 150 billion m or 93 million miles from the sun.

45 DNA Gene - a segment of DNA that codes for a protein, which in turn codes for a trait (skin tone, eye color, etc.) A gene is a stretch of DNA.

46 DNA A mistake in DNA replication is called a mutation. Many enzymes are involved in finding and repairing mistakes.

47 Mutagen: An agent, such as a chemical, ultraviolet light, or a radioactive element, that can induce or increase the frequency of mutation in an organism. (Almost anything that you can think of that causes cancer is a mutagen.)

48 Mutations A change in DNA sequence A mistake that’s made during replication, translation, transcription or cell division Can be: harmful: disease deformities helpful: organism better able to survive neutral: organism unaffected If a mutation occurs in a sperm or egg cell, that mutation is passed to the offspring, if a mutation occurs in a body or somatic cell it only affect the organism and is not passed on to the offspring.

49 Mutations Example: Sickle Cell Anemia When can having the sickle cell trait be an advantage?

50 Mutations Example: Hemophilia

51 DNA Repair A complex system of enzymes, active in the G 2 stage of interphase, serves as a back up to repair damaged DNA before it is dispersed into new cells during mitosis.

54 RNA Function: obtain information from DNA & synthesizes proteins

55 3 differences from DNA 1.Single strand instead of double strand 2.Ribose instead of deoxyribose 3.Uracil instead of thymine

56 3 types of RNA 1.Messenger RNA (mRNA)- copies information from DNA for protein synthesis Codon- 3 base pairs that code for a single amino acid. codon

57 3 types of RNA 2. Transfer RNA (tRNA)- collects amino acids for protein synthesis Anticodon-a sequence of 3 bases that are complementary base pairs to a codon in the mRNA

58 3 types of RNA 3. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)- combines with proteins to form ribosomes

59 Amino Acids Amino acids- the building blocks of protein At least one kind of tRNA is present for each of the 20 amino acids used in protein synthesis.

60 Transcription - mRNA is made from DNA & goes to the ribosome Translation - Proteins are made from the message on the mRNA

61 Transcription In order for cells to make proteins, the DNA code must be transcribed (copied) to mRNA. The mRNA carries the code from the nucleus to the ribosomes. Occurs in the nucleus

62

63 Translation At the ribosome, amino acids (AA) are linked together to form specific proteins. The amino acid sequence is directed by the mRNA molecule. ribosome Amino acids

91 Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project is a collaborative effort of scientists around the world to map the entire gene sequence of organisms. This information will be useful in detection, prevention, and treatment of many genetic diseases.

92 DNA Technologies DNA technologies allow scientists to identify, study, and modify genes. Forensic identification is an example of the application of DNA technology.

93 Gene Therapy Gene therapy is a technique for correcting defective genes responsible for disease development. Possible cures for: –diabetes –cardiovascular disease –cystic fibrosis –Alzheimer's –Parkinson’s –and many other diseases is possible.

94 Genetic Engineering The human manipulation of the genetic material of a cell. Recombinant DNA- Genetically engineered DNA prepared by splicing genes from one species into the cells of a different species. Such DNA becomes part of the host's genetic makeup and is replicated.

95 Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering techniques are used in a variety of industries, in agriculture, in basic research, and in medicine. This genetically engineered cow resists infections of the udders and can help to increase dairy production.

96 Genetic Engineering There is great potential for the development of useful products through genetic engineering EX., human growth hormone, insulin, and pest- and disease-resistant fruits and vegetables Seedless watermelons are genetically engineered
