1
Structure and Function of DNA DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis
2
Double Helix in Shape- two stands wound around one another. Composed of subunits called nucleotides Parts of a Nucleotide 5 Carbon Sugar- Deoxyribose Phosphate Group Nitrogen Base (4 Flavors) Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine (A,T,C,G) DNA Structure
3
Nucleotides of a DNA Molecule
4
Credited with Double Helix Model Spiral staircase or twisted ladder Maurice Williams and Rosalind Franklin worked with them also. Watson and Crick
6
Chargoff’s Rule A,C,T, G always bind in a certain way Adenine- Thymine Cytosine- Guanine Hydrogen Bonds Hold Them Together Base Paring
8
DNA stores all of the genetic information for the cell. If it located in the nucleus but can also be found in the mitochondria and the chloroplast. Serves as the blueprint for making proteins. Function of DNA
9
Copying DNA to make an exact copy (in nucleus) DNA strand unwinds and separates Enzymes help new DNA chains form by using nucleotides floating around the nucleus. Produces two new exact copies of the original DNA strand. Occurs during S phase if interphase Remember A-T and C-G !!! DNA Replication

12
Ribonucleic Acid Structure of RNA Made of nucleotides Sugar-Ribose Uracil Replaces Thymine and Pairs with Adenine Single Strand not double Smaller than DNA Part II: RNA
14
mRNA- messenger RNA Carries RNA info from nucleus to cytoplasm tRNA- transfer RNA Picks up amino acids rRNA- ribosomal RNA Makes up the ribosomes where proteins are made. Types of RNA
15
DNA VS. RNA
16
DNA RNA Occurs in the nucleus When the cell needs a protein is transcribes a certain part of DNA into RNA. RNA is then the directions to make the proteins. Transcription

18
RNA is read in sets of 3 bases called codons. Each codon CODES for a specific amino acid. Start Codon –AUG Stop Codons- UAA, UAG, UGA The Genetic Code
19
Making proteins from the mRNA code. mRNA leaves the nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm. Goes to the ribosome where it is read is sets of 3 bases called a CODON. tRNA picks up amino acids needed to make specific proteins Translation
20
Structure of Proteins Polymers made of amino acids bonded by peptide bonds. Specific sequence of amino acids makes each protein. There are 20 different amino acids used to make proteins. Protein Synthesis
21
Once at the ribosome, the amino acids brought by the tRNA are bonded together by peptide bonds. Bonded by peptide bonds. MAKES A PROTEIN. Protein Assembly
