DNA structure is antiparallel
• There is a 3’ end and a 5’ end
• Each strand is unidirectional
• Many enzymes that replicate DNA are unidirectional also

Hydrogen bonding between DNA bases
• A with T, C with G• CG pairs have 3 bonds,
AT have two

LE 16-9_1
The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C.
![Page 9: PCR lab Week 1. LE 16-8 Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) Sugar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e845503460f94b86532/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LE 16-9_2
The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C.
The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands.
![Page 10: PCR lab Week 1. LE 16-8 Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) Sugar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e845503460f94b86532/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LE 16-9_3
The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C.
The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands.
Each parental strand now serves as a template that determines the order of nucleotides along a new, complementary strand.
![Page 11: PCR lab Week 1. LE 16-8 Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) Sugar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e845503460f94b86532/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LE 16-9_4
The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C.
The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands.
Each parental strand now serves as a template that determines the order of nucleotides along a new, complementary strand.
The nucleotides are connected to form the sugar-phosphate back-bones of the new strands. Each “daughter” DNA molecule consists of one parental strand and one new strand.

How is DNA replicated?
• It was expected, but not proven, that DNA was replicated semiconservatively
• Competing models were the conservative model and the dispersive model
![Page 14: PCR lab Week 1. LE 16-8 Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) Sugar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e845503460f94b86532/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LE 16-10
Conservative model. The two parental strands reassociate after acting as templates for new strands, thus restoring the parental double helix.
Semiconservative model. The two strands of the parental moleculeseparate, and each functions as a template for synthesis of a new, comple-mentary strand.
Dispersive model. Each strand of both daughter molecules contains a mixture of old and newly synthesized DNA.

Meselson-Stahl experiment• They labeled the
nucleotides of the old strands with a heavy isotope of nitrogen
• The first replication produced a band of hybrid DNA, eliminating the conservative model
• A second replication produced both light and hybrid DNA, eliminating the dispersive model and supporting the semiconservative model

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
• Coin flip is based on a “gene frequency” of 50%
• Genes do not always have 50% frequency
• What if the frequency is 40%?
• We can use algebra…• The Hardy-weinberg
