• DNA strands were twisted around each other like the coils of a spring, a shape known as a double helix.
• A double helix looks like a twisted ladder or a spiral staircase.

How could DNA, or any other molecule, do the How could DNA, or any other molecule, do the three critical things that genes were known for? :three critical things that genes were known for? :
1. Genes had to carry information from one generation to the next.
2. Put the information to work by determining the heritable characteristics of organisms.
3. Be easily copied, because all of the cell’s genetic information is replicated every time a cell divides.

NucleotidesNucleotides• DNA is a long molecule made up of units called nucleotides.
Each nucleotide is made up of three basic components:
1. 5-Carbon sugar called deoxyribose
2. Phosphate group
3. Nitrogenous base

Bonds in DNABonds in DNA1. Nucleotides are held
together by covalent bonds
• 2. Hydrogen Bonds: 2 bases make up the “rungs” of the double helix and this is the bond they are held together by.

FunctionsFunctions• The function of
DNA is to store and transmit genetic information that tells cells which proteins to make and when to make them.

Replicate DNAReplicate DNA1. DNA “unzips” at
one end by breaking up the hydrogen bonds between bases
2. Free floating nucleotides pair with the open bases on each side of the double helix.
![Page 11: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Continues until DNA double helix “unzips” and 2 double helixes are made. Each double helix has one new strand and one old strand. Both are identical to each other and to the original.

• For a cell to make a protein, the information from a gene is copied, base by base, from DNA into new strands of mRNA. The mRNA travels out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, to ribosomes. mRNA directs assembly of amino acids that fold into completed protein molecules.

Genetic CodeGenetic Code
• Proteins are made of amino acids• 20 known amino acids• Sequence of nucleotides (bases) on
DNA determines what amino acids are put into proteins.
![Page 21: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How many nucleotides (bases) are How many nucleotides (bases) are used to code for each amino acid? 3used to code for each amino acid? 3
• Read 1 base=at most only 4 combinations• Read 2 bases=at most only 16 combinations• Read 3 base=at most only 64 combinations
![Page 22: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• 3 bases must be read at one time to code for 1 amino acid
• A 3 base sequence found on an mRNA is called a codon
• 60 combinations of 3 bases code just for amino acids
![Page 23: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• 1 combination codes for a start as well as an amino acid. (AUG-Methionine). Methionine is the only amino acid specified by just 1 codon, AUG.
• 3 combinations code for a stop codon. The stop codons are UAA, UAG, and UGA. They encode NO amino acid. The ribosome passes ad falls off the mRNA .

TranscriptionTranscription
• Process where part of DNA double helix (a gene) is “read” and a strand of mRNA is created.
![Page 25: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
StepsSteps
1. DNA double helix “unzips” down the center between the bases at a certain location of the helix.
2. One side of the double helix is “read” starting at a certain base and “read” to a certain base (gene)
![Page 26: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. A complementary strand of mRNA is created.
4. DNA double helix “zips” back up.
5. Strand of mRNA leaves the nucleus.

TranslationTranslation
• Process where a mRNA strand is “read” and a protein is produced.
![Page 28: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
StepsSteps
1. A ribosome (which is made of rRNA) attaches to the strand of mRNA at a certain spot (AUG-start codon)
2. Ribosome reads the first 3 bases (called a codon) on the mRNA strand.
![Page 29: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. A tRNA that has an anticodon, that is a complement to the codon being read, attaches to the mRNA. Remember that tRNA’s have an amino acid attached to them
Ex. Codon(on mRNA)- AUG
Anticodon(on tRNA)= UAC
![Page 30: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4. The tRNA leaves the rRNA but leaves the amino acid
5. Ribosomes reads the next codon on mRNA.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until the certain codon is read called the stop codon.
![Page 31: The Components and Structure of DNA Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid Found in all living things](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f215503460f94c399ae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
7. Ribosome lets go of the mRNA strand.
8. All the amino acids that were brought by the tRNA are linked together producing a protein.
