Homework:
Human Energy Systems Retake Friday March 8am

13. DNA forms a double helix
Learn more about Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of DNA by watching this video:

14. DNA forms a double helix James Watson & Francis Crick
Learn more about Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of DNA by watching this video:

15. DNA is made of monomers called nucleotides

16. DNA is made of monomers called nucleotides
Adenine (A)
Guanine (G)
Pairs to 
Thymine (T)
Cytosine (C)

17. Nucleotides always pair specifically = complementary base pairing
Teacher Notes: This is a great opportunity to act out DNA base pairing!
A - T
C - G
Science theater!

18. Building DNA DNA is double stranded
The nucleotides on one strand COMPLEMENTS the nucleotides on the other strand
= complementary base-pairing
G-C and A-T

19. Lab #14 Modeling DNA
Procedure: Create a DNA molecule, use procedure and reading at your table. TAPE YOUR MOLECULE TOGETHER!! Wrap-up: SKETCH your molecule in your journal, create a key to identify the different molecules that make up DNA. Circle a Guanine Nucleotide. Answer questions: In lab journal. When WHOLE group is done, quiz and stamp! HW: Read the “DNA is Self-Replicating” paragraph in the reading. Write down the steps for DNA Replication

20. Let’s make a double helix!
Color the parts of the nucleotide monomers as follows:
Adenine (A) = red Cytosine (C) = blue
Guanine (G) = green Thymine (T) = yellow
Sugar = orange Phosphate = purple
Color and cut out each of the monomers.
Link monomers (biosynthesis) to build chromosomes. The left side of your double helix should spell CAT.
Use the remaining nucleotide monomers to finish the complementary strand of the double helix.
*You may not want to tape until you are certain of the arrangement*

21. Opening Activity: March 1, 2018
Pick up your DNA molecule from front of room to complete Lab #14. Check your work that you have your sketch in your journal AND answers to #7 a-e. I will stamp on Friday.

How did the DNA go from a single chromosomes to replicated chromosomes?

23. How would you make a copy of your chromosome?
How does the new DNA strand compare to the original?

24. DNA Replication
Teacher Notes: This is a great opportunity to act out DNA replication!

26. DNA Replication Review
DNA Splits in half
New nucleotides come in and pair up on each half
Final product is two IDENTICAL strands of DNA
Why do cells want two identical strands of DNA?

I can…Explain how cells become specific types of cells
Homework:
Color your cell for Monday 3/4
Development Test 3/7

30. The right gene at the right time
Cell Differentiation
The right gene at the right time

31. A chromosome has thousands of genes
A gene is a region of the chromosome which contains information for making a protein
gene
chromosome
A chromosome has thousands of genes

32. Key Questions… How do cells know what type of cell to become?
How do they coordinate to form tissues, organs, and a complete organism?

33. What makes the different types of cells in your body unique?
Muscle cells and neurons in your body have the same DNA, but they express (use) different genes.
Gene expression causes cells to look unique and to perform different functions.

34. Cell Differentiation Activity
Read the introduction to the activity.
Review your chromosome, color according to the key.
Form a group with all 4 cell types – bone, muscle, stomach and skin. Write their names on your paper.
Work together as a group of 4 to review the cells and answer the analysis questions. STAMP!!
