DNA• DNA stands for: Deoxyribonucleic
acid.• DNA stores and passes on genetic
information from one generation to the next.

Discovering DNA• In the 1950’s Rosalind Franklin &
Maurice Wilkins took x-ray pictures of DNA, which suggested that it had a spiral shape.
![Page 5: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick used the x-ray pictures to determine that the shape of DNA is a double helix.
Discovering DNA
![Page 6: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Examples: Double Helix
A staircase in the shape of a double
helix, in the Vatican Museum
Calling DNA a double helix is
the same as saying it’s a
twisted ladder.
![Page 7: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The sides of the “ladder” are made up of millions of alternating sugars & phosphatesphosphates.
Structure of DNA
• The sugar is named deoxyribose.
• The sides of the ladder are held together by rungs (steps) attached to the sugars.
![Page 8: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• The rungs (steps)of the DNA ladder are made up of two bases that contain nitrogen, called nitrogenous bases.
• The 2 bases of each rung are held together by a hydrogen bond.
• There are 4 bases to choose from:
Adenine Thymine
Guanine Cytosine
Structure of DNA
![Page 9: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Erwin Chargraff discovered that:
He concluded that a rung can have: A and T or it can have C & G •This is called complementary base pairing.
Erwin Chargraff
• The amount of adenine (A) is always equal the amount of thymine (T)
• The amount of cytosine (C) is always equal the amount of guanine (G).
![Page 10: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• States that only these bases pair together:• A always pairs with T• T always pairs with A• G always pairs with C• C always pairs with G.
If you know one base pair of the DNA, you will be able to figure out the other!
Complementary Base Pairing

NucleotideNucleotide is a subunit (small piece) of DNA which contains:
• 1 base• 1 sugar• 1 phosphate
Lots of nucleotides connect to form a large DNA molecule.
![Page 14: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Human genome: has 3 billion base pairs
• Largest genome: South American marbled lungfish has 133 billion base pairs.
• Smallest genome: Symbiotic insect bacteria, Carsonella ruddii has159,662 base pairs.

DNA ReplicationDNA Replication - process in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself.
When does DNA replication occur?•During interphase before mitosis begins.
![Page 16: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DNA Replication is semi-conservative.
half
saved
Semi-conservative - each new DNA is made of ½ new and ½ old nucleotides. The old nucleotides were from the original strand (saved).

3. They form hydrogen bonds with the old nucleotides.
4. Two identical DNA molecules are formed!

Identical base sequences
DNA Replication
Why does DNA replication occur?•So when a cell splits, each cell has identical DNA in each cell.
How is it possible that new DNA and original DNA are identical?•The bases are complementary so they always pair with the same exact base.

Chapter 4Section 2: How DNA
works
![Page 29: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
DNA• DNA is like the blueprint for a house.
• DNA contains instructions that determines the traits an organism inherits and needs to live.
![Page 30: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
No, not that GENE.
DNA is made up of
smaller segments
called genes.
No, not those jeans!

![Page 32: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How genes work•A gene consists of a string of nucleotides that give the cell instructions about how to make a specific trait.
•Genes do not do the work themselves, they carry the code for making specific proteins.
![Page 33: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What are Proteins?•Found throughout cells
•Control cellular functions
•Determine physical traits such as:•Skin Color•Eye color•How tall you grow•What colors you can see•Whether your hair is curly or straight
![Page 34: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
DNA, Genes, & Proteins• DNA has instructions how to make all traits
for an organism.
• Gene carries instructions for how to make one specific trait.
• DNA and genes NEVER leave the nucleus so a copy of the gene is needed to make the protein.
• Proteins are made from a copy of one specific gene. Proteins do all the work! Yet, DNA gets all the credit!
![Page 35: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How genes work•When a particular protein is needed, that part of the DNA (the gene) is copied.
•The copy of the gene is called mRNA or messenger ribonucleic acid.
![Page 36: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How genes work• When a particular protein is needed it goes
through a process called protein synthesis.
•Two parts of protein synthesis:1. Transcription – gene is
copied in nucleus (because DNA never leaves the nucleus)
2. Translation – protein is made at the ribosome
![Page 37: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Transcription is like taking the blueprints and copying a single section about one specific part of the house.
Ex. Copying the blueprint only for the kitchen.
Transcription
![Page 38: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
5 Steps of Transcription
1.) The cell gets a message that a protein is needed.
2.) DNA unzips at hydrogen bonds exposing only one gene.
“Help, a protein is needed!”
ONLY one gene being
exposed
![Page 39: Chapter 4 Sec 1 – What does DNA Look Like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814f70550346895dbd2528/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Steps of Transcription3.) Complementary nucleotides move into one side of the gene forming mRNA.•mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) – the copy of the gene.
4.) mRNA leaves the nucleus to go into the cytoplasm.
5.) DNA rezips at the hydrogen bonds.

Steps of Translation
3.) The arrangement of bases in a codon creates a specific amino acid. •Amino acid - The combination of the 3 letters on a codon. ( ex. AGG, CAG, AGC)
• Example: AGG brings a different amino acid than CAG, and AGC, etc.)

Mutation- changes or mistakes that take place in the DNA or mRNA.•Happens during DNA replication or transcription.•Can occur randomly or caused by mutagens such as:
– High energy radiation (from x-rays or sunlight)– Asbestos– Chemicals in cigarette smoke
• If mutations occur in sex cells, they can be passed on to offspring.
• Cells make proteins that can detect errors, so they are usually fixed.
Mutations

• Mutations can be good, neutral, or bad.
There are 3 types of mutation:
1. Deletion - one pair of bases is removed.
2. Insertion- one pair of bases is added.
3. Substitution - one pair of bases is replaced with another pair
