DNA (DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID)
Nucleic acid that composes chromosomes and carries genetic information.

CHROMOSOME ORGANIZATION1. A chromosome is an enormous
strand of super coiled DNA.2. Sections of DNA on the
chromosome that code for proteins are called genes.

BUILDING BLOCKS OF DNA
Composed of nucleotides Nucleotides contain three parts
5-Carbon Sugar (deoxyribose) Phosphate Group Nitrogen Base (four types, adenine,
guanine, thymine and cytosine)
![Page 5: Warm Up! 1. What kind of biomolecule is DNA? 2. What function does it have? 3. What are the building blocks?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050917/5a4d1b737f8b9ab0599b64e1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• 4 types of Nitrogen Bases• adenine (A),• guanine (G), • cytosine (C), • thymine (T)
Nucleotides join together in long chains to form DNA
Complimentary base pairs—* A pairs with T* G pairs with
Adenine (A)Guanine (G) Thymine (T)Cytosine (C)

Specific base pairing arrangement (Chargaff’s Rule) A-T C-G
The amount of adenine = amount of thymine
The amount of guanine = amount of cytosine

STRUCTURE OF DNA
Consists of two strands of nucleotides that form a twisted ladder (double helix)
Sugar and phosphate alternate along the sides of the ladder (linked by strong covalent bonds)
Pairs of nitrogen bases form the rungs of the ladder (linked by weak hydrogen bonds).
The structure of DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick.

FUNCTION OF DNA
DNA codes for proteins (structural proteins, enzymes, and hormones)
information for building proteins is carried in the sequence of nitrogen bases
proteins determine physical and metabolic traits and regulate growth and development.

DNA REPLICATIONProcess in which DNA is copied
![Page 11: Warm Up! 1. What kind of biomolecule is DNA? 2. What function does it have? 3. What are the building blocks?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050917/5a4d1b737f8b9ab0599b64e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PURPOSE OF DNA REPLICATIONGives daughter cells produced by cell division a
complete set of genetic information identical to the parent cell.

WHEN DURING THE CELL CYCLE
REPLICATION OCCURS
Interphase (S)
![Page 14: Warm Up! 1. What kind of biomolecule is DNA? 2. What function does it have? 3. What are the building blocks?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050917/5a4d1b737f8b9ab0599b64e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HOW REPLICATION OCCURS Helicase enzymes unzip the parent strand
by separating the nitrogen base pairs. DNA polymerase pairs free DNA
nucleotides with the exposed bases on both strands following the base pair rules.
each strand from the parent molecule serve as a template
![Page 15: Warm Up! 1. What kind of biomolecule is DNA? 2. What function does it have? 3. What are the building blocks?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050917/5a4d1b737f8b9ab0599b64e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Hydrogen bonds reform sealing the two strands of each DNA molecule together.

RESULTS OF REPLICATIONTwo molecules of DNA that are identicalEach is half old (strand from parent) and half new
(strand synthesized by DNA polymerase) – Semi-conservative process
Few mistakes (mutations) are made

Think about it…
If 30% adenine is present in an organism, then what is the percentage of thymine?
What is the remain percentage of nitrogen bases?
What percent of the remaining is cytosine? How do you know?

Think about it
30% thymine40% remaining20% cytosine (same amt of cytosine as guanine, and adenine and thymine make up 60% of organisms nitrogen bases)
