3. Journal  Sketch a model of DNA and list three facts about DNA.

5. Characteristics of DNA  Location: inside a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus

6. Molecular Genetics

7. Structure of DNA  Made up of: Nucleotides 1. Sugar 2.Phosphate Group 3.Nitrogenous base

8. 4 Types of Nitrogenous Bases

9. Molecular Genetics Chargaff  Chargaff’s rule: C = G and T = A

10. Molecular Genetics Wilkins & Franklin  X-ray Diffraction  Helped solve the structure of DNA  Indicated that DNA was a double helix

11. Watson & Crick (1953)

12. Double Helix “twisted ladder”  Backbone – alternating sugar and phosphate  Base Pair Rules:  Adenine always pairs with Thymine (A = T)  Guanine always pairs with Cytosine (G = C)

13.  On the top rail, the strand is said to be oriented 5 ′ to 3 ′.  The strand on the bottom runs in the opposite direction and is oriented 3 ′ to 5 ′. Orientation

19. DNA Replication  Semiconservative Replication Parental strands of DNA separate, serve as templates, and produce DNA molecules that have one strand of parental DNA and one strand of new DNA

20. 1. Unwinding  DNA helicase, an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix.  RNA primase adds a short segment of RNA, called an RNA primer, on each DNA strand. DNA Replication

21. Molecular Genetics 2. Base pairing  DNA polymerase adds appropriate nucleotides to the chain by adding to the 3′ end of the new DNA strand.

22. Molecular Genetics  One strand is called the leading strand and is elongated as the DNA unwinds.  The other strand of DNA, called the lagging strand, elongates away from the replication fork.  The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously into small segments, called Okazaki fragments.

23. 3. Joining  DNA ligase links the two sections.

24. Practice  During DNA replication, a DNA strand that has the bases CTAGGTCAAG would produce a complementary strand with what base order? GATCCAGTT CTAGGTCAA

DNA is replicated only at certain places along the chromosome. B. DNA replication is both semicontinuous and conservative. C. Multiple areas of replication occur along the chromosome at the same time. D. The leading DNA strand is synthesized discontinuously.

33. RNA and Protein Synthesis  DNA gives coded instructions for making proteins. The cell has to “break” the code before making proteins.

34. Central Dogma DNARNAPROTEIN

35. RNA  Structure  3 Differences from DNA: 1) Sugar = Ribose 2) Single-stranded 3) Uracil in place of Thymine ( A pairs with U)

36. 3 Types of RNA  Messenger RNA (mRNA) – Long strands of RNA nucleotides that are formed complementary to one strand of DNA  Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - Associates with proteins to form ribosomes in the cytoplasm  Transfer RNA (tRNA) – transfers amino acids to ribosomes

37. Transcription  Process that produces mRNA (in the nucleus) by reading the DNA code  mRNA is read 3 letters (codon) at a time. Each codon matches up to an amino acid  Example:  mRNAAGGCUCAUC is read AGG – CUC - AUC

38. RNA Processing  The code on the DNA is interrupted periodically by sequences that are not in the final mRNA.  Intervening sequences are called introns.  Remaining pieces of DNA that serve as the coding sequences are called exons.

39. Practice  For the following DNA strand, write the complementary mRNA strand  DNA: CCA GAC TCA GGT ATC  mRNA: GGU CUG AGU CCA UAG

40. Translation  tRNA “translates” the Genetic Code from mRNA to attach the corresponding amino acids  Example:  mRNA: AGG – CUC – AUC  Amino acidarginine –leucine – isoleucine

41. The Genetic Code

43. Practice  Use this DNA strand to code for mRNA and its matching amino acid  DNA: CCA GAC TCA GGT ATC  mRNA: GGU CUG AGU CCA UAG  Amino acid: Glycine – Leucine – Serine – Proline - STOP

44. Journal – Part 2  Write down three NEW facts about DNA that we talked about this class.
