1. Structure and Function of DNA DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis

2.  Double Helix in Shape- two stands wound around one another.  Composed of subunits called nucleotides  Parts of a Nucleotide  5 Carbon Sugar- Deoxyribose  Phosphate Group  Nitrogen Base (4 Flavors)  Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine (A,T,C,G) DNA Structure

3. Nucleotides of a DNA Molecule

4.  Credited with Double Helix Model  Spiral staircase or twisted ladder  Maurice Williams and Rosalind Franklin worked with them also. Watson and Crick

6.  Chargoff’s Rule  A,C,T, G always bind in a certain way  Adenine- Thymine  Cytosine- Guanine  Hydrogen Bonds Hold Them Together Base Paring

8.  DNA stores all of the genetic information for the cell.  If it located in the nucleus but can also be found in the mitochondria and the chloroplast.  Serves as the blueprint for making proteins. Function of DNA

9.  Copying DNA to make an exact copy (in nucleus)  DNA strand unwinds and separates  Enzymes help new DNA chains form by using nucleotides floating around the nucleus.  Produces two new exact copies of the original DNA strand.  Occurs during S phase if interphase  Remember A-T and C-G !!! DNA Replication

12.  Ribonucleic Acid  Structure of RNA  Made of nucleotides  Sugar-Ribose  Uracil Replaces Thymine and Pairs with Adenine  Single Strand not double  Smaller than DNA Part II: RNA

14.  mRNA- messenger RNA  Carries RNA info from nucleus to cytoplasm  tRNA- transfer RNA  Picks up amino acids  rRNA- ribosomal RNA  Makes up the ribosomes where proteins are made. Types of RNA

15. DNA VS. RNA

16.  DNA  RNA  Occurs in the nucleus  When the cell needs a protein is transcribes a certain part of DNA into RNA.  RNA is then the directions to make the proteins. Transcription

18.  RNA is read in sets of 3 bases called codons.  Each codon CODES for a specific amino acid.  Start Codon –AUG  Stop Codons- UAA, UAG, UGA The Genetic Code

19.  Making proteins from the mRNA code.  mRNA leaves the nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm.  Goes to the ribosome where it is read is sets of 3 bases called a CODON.  tRNA picks up amino acids needed to make specific proteins Translation

20.  Structure of Proteins  Polymers made of amino acids bonded by peptide bonds.  Specific sequence of amino acids makes each protein.  There are 20 different amino acids used to make proteins.  Protein Synthesis

21.  Once at the ribosome, the amino acids brought by the tRNA are bonded together by peptide bonds.  Bonded by peptide bonds.  MAKES A PROTEIN. Protein Assembly
