DNA Functions
• Stores genetic information to build and maintain a living organism
• Copies itself

James Watson & Francis Creek 1953
• Determined the three-dimensional structure of DNA
• One of the greatest discoveries in the history of science
• Nobel prize in 1962

• Made of repeating units called nucleotides
• Each nucleotide made of a sugar named deoxyribose, a phosphate and a base

Base Pairing Rule
• Adenine pairs with Thymine
• Guanine pairs with Cytosine

DNA• Total length of DNA in each
cell is about 6 feet
• Wraps around proteins called histones
• Over 3 billion nucleotide pairs in human DNA!

DNA ReplicationDNA strands separate
DNA nucleotides attach to
each strand

Each new DNA
molecule will
be an exact copy of the
original

12
First, DNA strands separate
![Page 13: DNA. 2 DNA Functions Stores genetic information to build and maintain a living organism Copies itself](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5515938655034691418b5b4f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Second, an RNA attaches to DNA strand
DNA cannot start replication on its own
![Page 14: DNA. 2 DNA Functions Stores genetic information to build and maintain a living organism Copies itself](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5515938655034691418b5b4f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Third, DNA nucleotides are attached to DNA
strand

15
Fourth and final, the RNA is removed

DNA Errors• Replication is not 100% accurate
–Errors occur when copying DNA• DNA damaged
–Ultraviolet light–X-rays–Cigarette smoke–Nitrates (smoked meat)–Pesticides & Herbicides
