What is DNA?Deoxyribonucleic acid contains all the
genetic information for living organisms.
It is a very long molecule of repeating units called nucleotides, which contain nitrogenous bases of:
• adenine (A), • guanine (G), • cytosine (C), • and thymine (T)

Genetic material of cells…
• GENES – units of genetic material (DNA or RNA) that CODE FOR A SPECIFIC TRAIT
• DNA and RNA are NUCLEIC ACIDS
• DNA/RNA is made up of repeating molecules called NUCLEOTIDES

• Guanine must pair with Cytosine
• Their amounts in a given DNA molecule will be about the same.

arrangements of NUCLEOTIDES in a nucleic acid (DNA) provides the key to DIVERSITY among living organisms.

DNA is wrapped tightly around small proteins called histones and coiled
tightly to form chromosomes
See p. 297

How do we pass this genetic code to our own cells our
offspring?• DNA must be
replicated before cells divide during mitosis or meiosis…
• What stage is DNA replicated in before cell division?

DNA Replication• DNA must be copied
• The DNA molecule produces 2 IDENTICAL new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing:
A-T, G-C
• Each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the new strand See p. 298

DNA Replication• Semiconservative
Model:
1. Avery-McCarty-McLeod
2. Watson and Crick showed: the two strands of the parental molecule separate, and each functions as a template for synthesis of a new complementary strand.

DNA Replication• Each strand gets a new
complimentary strand, synthesized from free-floating nucleotides.
• Each strand is synthesized in the 5’ to 3’ direction; one strand made in one direction and other strand in opposite direction (leading vs. lagging strands)
• Two identical strands of DNA are made

Enzymes Involved in DNA Replication
• Helicase: Unzips DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases
• Primase: Attaches RNA primer to DNA strand
• DNA Polymerase III: Makes the new strand of DNA by adding DNA nucleotides
• DNA Polymerase I: Replaces RNA primer with DNA nucleotides
• Ligase: Seals the gap between Okazaki Fragments

(1961) Watson & Crick proposed…• …DNA controlled cell function by
serving as a template for PROTEIN structure.
• 3 Nucleotides = a triplet or CODON(which code for a specific AMINO ACID)
See p.303
• AMINO ACIDS are the building blocks of proteins.

DNA Transcription
• DNA can “unzip” itself and RNA nucleotides match up to the DNA strand.
• Both DNA & RNA are formed from NUCLEOTIDES and are called NUCLEIC acids.
See p.301

DNA Translation
• The cell uses information from “messenger” RNA to produce proteins
See p.304-305
We will discuss details
of this on a later date

1. Why is transcription necessary?Transcription makes messenger RNA (MRNA) to carry the code for proteins out of the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
2. Describe transcription.
RNA polymerase binds to DNA, separates the strands, then uses one strand as a template to assemble MRNA.
3. Why is translation necessary?
Translation assures that the right amino acids are joined together by peptides to form the correct protein.
