WHAT DO YOU ALREADY KNOW?

PART 1: KNOWING YOUR NUCLEOTIDES
DNA is the code that makes you who you are.
The code has ONLY 4 LETTERS!!!
A = Adenine T = Thymine C = Cytosine G = Guanine
![Page 4: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PART 1: KNOWING YOUR NUCLEOTIDES
A, T, C, & G are nucleotides.
Nucleotides: The building blocks of DNA that match up to form the double helix shape
A + T bond C + G bond
![Page 5: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PART 1: KNOWING YOUR NUCLEOTIDES Nucleotides all have the
same general structure.
1. Phosphate Group is the backbone
2. Sugar is the link
3. Nitrogen Base is the code: A, T, C, G
The green base can change, but yellow and pink stay the same
![Page 6: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PART 1: KNOWING YOUR NUCLEOTIDES DNA is the code to
make RNA. RNA is the code to
make proteins! RNA replaces the
deoxyribose sugar link of DNA with just a ribose sugar link
RNA also replaces the T nucleotide for a U
U = Uracil A + U bonds

DNA HISTORY: ERWIN CHARGAFF (1950)
Erwin did the experiments to prove that A matches with T and that C matches with G in a 1 to 1 ratio.

DNA HISTORY: ROSALIND FRANKLIN (1951)
Rosalind took the first clear photo of DNA
![Page 9: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DNA HISTORY: MARTHA CHASE & ALFRED HERSHEY (1952)
First to absolutely prove that DNA is the molecule that is the code for all genes
![Page 10: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CURRENT APPLICATION: (JUST FOR FUN)
![Page 11: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DNA HISTORY: FRANCIS CRICK & JAMES WATSON (1953)
Determined the “double-helix” shape of DNA from Rosalind’s photo.
Some say Rosalind got it first!

PART 2: DNA REPLICATION
We need to pass on our genes to new cells (by Mitosis) and to our offspring (by Meiosis).
DNA Replication is the process by which perfect copies of our DNA are made!
![Page 14: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PART 2: DNA REPLICATION
Think of DNA as a zipper, two sides that are held together by matching base pairs.
The enzyme helicase unwinds the helix and forces the zipper to open!
The Chainsaw!!!
![Page 15: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PART 2: DNA REPLICATION
Opening the DNA causes “bubbles” to form
Replication can only happen when these single strands of DNA are exposed!
![Page 16: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PART 2: DNA REPLICATION
Replication is “semi-conservative” because the original (parent) strands stay the same, while new matching (daughter) strands are added on.
![Page 17: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PART 2: DNA REPLICATION The nucleus is
filled with a pool of extra nucleotides, waiting to make new DNA.
DNA Polymerase is like a train that rides along the rail of DNA and attaches matching base pairs.
![Page 18: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

PART 3: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
Transcription: A process where a section of DNA code is copied into its matching RNA code.
Makes “messenger” mRNA
![Page 21: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PART 3: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
mRNA leaves the nucleus to find a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
![Page 22: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PART 3: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS Translation: The
process of decoding the mRNA code
Every 3 letter code of mRNA (codon) = amino acid
Transfer RNA bring amino acids to match the codes of mRNA
Amino acids build the protein
![Page 23: GETTING TO KNOW DNA](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5681360c550346895d9d8244/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PART 3: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS mRNA codes
for 20 different amino acids that have almost infinite combinations for making needed proteins.
