DNA Structure

DNA Structure DNA consists of two molecules that are arranged into a ladder-like structure called a Double Helix. A molecule of DNA is made up of millions of tiny subunits called Nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of: Phosphate group Pentose sugar Nitrogenous base

Nucleotides Phosphate Nitrogenous Base Pentose Sugar

Nucleotides The phosphate and sugar form the backbone of the DNA molecule, whereas the bases form the “rungs”. There are four types of nitrogenous bases.

Nucleotides A Adenine T Thymine C Cytosine G Guanine

Nucleotides Each base will only bond with one other specific base. Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) Form a base pair. Form a base pair.

DNA Structure Because of this complementary base pairing, the order of the bases in one strand determines the order of the bases in the other strand.

A C T G G A T C

DNA Structure To crack the genetic code found in DNA we need to look at the sequence of bases. The bases are arranged in triplets called codons. A G G - C T C - A A G - T C C - T A G T C C - G A G - T T C - A G G - A T C

DNA Structure A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein. Each unique gene has a unique sequence of bases. This unique sequence of bases will code for the production of a unique protein. It is these proteins and combination of proteins that give us a unique phenotype.

Rosalind Franklin Discovered the shape and structure of DNA: A double helix

Chargaff’s Rule Discovered that A goes with T and C goes with G and that if there’s 20 % A, then there’s 20% T… called Chargaff’s Rule.

Watson & Crick Put first model of DNA together using Franklin and Chargaff’s work

DNA, Chromosome, and Chromatin

Karyotype Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes: one from Mom and one from dad, so 46 total chromosomes One pair

Why are there 2 copies? DNA Replication One pair

Chromosomal Disorders Cri-du-Chat (cry of the cat) – deletion of short arm of chromosome 5 Down Syndrome (trisomy 18 or 21) – extra copy of chromosome 18 or 21 Turner Syndrome – missing X chromosome in female Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) - there is at least one extra X chromosome to a standard human male karyotype, for a total of 47 chromosomes rather than the 46 found in genetically typical humans.
