1 DNA Structure How the structure of DNA was discovered and how it relates to its function of REPLICATION

2 How did we determine DNA’s structure? Will our model change?

3

4 Vocabulary O Be able to identify a nucleotide O Identify the molecules that make up rungs and sides of the double helix. O Explain the term antiparallel O Identify the 3’ and 5’ ends O Identify the two functions of DNA and how its structure relates.

5 How did experimental evidence determine the structure and function of DNA? O 5 Famouns DNA Experiments: O Griffith/Avery O Hershey/Chase O Chargaff O Watson/Crick/Franklin O Messelson/Stahl O Identify their experimental design and analysis! O Hypothesis…Methods…Data Analysis…Conclusion!

6 Griffith & Avery

7 Hershey and Chase

8 Chargaff

9 Watson/Crick/Franklin/Wilkins

10 Messelson and Stahl

11 DNA Replication…Animation Preview O DNA replication is a highly organized biological process. O In what sequence does the process occur? O What enzymes and molecules are involved in the process? O Distinguish between the leading and lagging strand? O Why must proofreading be an essential component of DNA replication?

12 Help Mrs. Krajewski’s chromosome replicate its DNA!!!

13 How is a chromosome related to DNA?
