Replication Transcription Translation

DNA 1. Double Stranded Helix 2. ___________________ Bonds between Nitrogenous Base Pairs 3. Adenine-Thymine and Guanine- Cytosine

Replication The ______________________________ of DNA which occurs during the S phase of Interphase. 1 Strand  2 ________________________ Strands DNA Polymerase

thymine adenine cytosine guanine phosphate deoxyribose sugar DNA nucleotide Deoxyribose sugar phosphate Nitrogenous base (guanine) RNA nucleotide ribose sugar phosphate Nitrogenous base (uracil) Sugar / phosphate “ strand ” Nitrogenous base “ rung ” Hydrogen bond (H-bonds)

Step 1: Hydrogen bonds between complimentary bases ___________________ DNA “ ________________ ”

Step 2: DNA strands ____________________ from each other

Step 3: DNA nucleotides in the cell _________________with each side of the “ unzipped ” DNA each “ unzipped ’ strands forms a template for a new strand

Step 4: Each “ old ’ strand forms a ________________ for a “ new ” strand two identical DNA molecules form “ old ” (original) strand “ new ” strand, identical sequence to the original

Transcription The process by which a molecule of DNA is _______________________ into a complementary strand of _____________. 1 Strand DNA  2 Strands RNA RNA Polymerase

DNA RNA

Step 1: Hydrogen bonds between complimentary _________________ break DNA “ unzips ”

Step 2: DNA strands ______________________ from each other

Step 3: ____________ nucleotides in the cell match up with only one side of the “ unzipped ” DNA each “ unzipped ’ strands forms a template for a ____________ strand RNA nucleotide

Step 4: RNA nucleotides continue to match up with “ unzipped ” DNA until the message is completely ___________________ mRNA strand One side of DNA strand

Step 4: mRNA strand breaks off from the DNA strand mRNA strand One side of DNA strand

Step 5: mRNA strand leaves the ____________________ for the _____________________

Step 6: Once the ______________ leaves, the DNA “ zips ” back together

Translation The process in which the __________________in the nucleotide base sequence of mRNA is used to dictate the amino acid sequence of a protein. 1 Strand RNA  Amino Acid Chain  Protein

The problem: How does a particular sequence of __________________________ specify a particular sequence of amino acids? By means of ________________________ molecules, each specific for one amino acid and for a particular triplet of nucleotides in mRNA called a __________________. The family of tRNA molecules enables the codons in a mRNA molecule to be translated into the sequence of amino acids in the protein.

RNA and Protein Synthesis RNA is a Single Stranded __________________ __________________ RNA Acts as a Messenger between DNA and __________________ Process Takes Amino Acids and Forms Proteins

Why Is It Necessary? DNA / Nucleus Ribosomes / Cytoplasm Need a Messenger

Definitions Codon 1. ___________________________segment of mRNA that specify amino acids. 2. _________________________ Codons 3. _________________________ Codons Anticodon 1. Three-base segment of tRNA that dock with a codon. 2. Docking results in deposition of amino acid.

Protein Synthesis Proteins are _________________ directly from the mRNA with 3 bases (one ___________________) for each amino acid.

Mutation A _______________________ in the nitrogenous base sequence of DNA; that change causes a change in the ___________________________ coded for by the mutated gene.

Mutations What happens when you get insertions or deletions of bases in the DNA sequence? Usually you end up with a mess. THE BIG FAT CAT ATE THE RAT AND GOT ILL Deletion of one base THE IGF ATC ATA TET HER ATA NDG OTI LL And its all pops and buzzes.
