Identifying a Tsar and His Family
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
Tsar Nicholas the II was Tsar (King) of
Russia in the early 19th century. After World War
I, The political stability of Russia was in an
uproar. During this political unrest the King and
his family disappeared and it has been a mystery
for years as to their fate. What really happened to
the Romanov’s?
It was determined that the newly
established soviet had taken the Romanov’s and
executed them and the bodies of the Romanov’s
were never found. In the late 1990’s a mass grave
was discovered by a Russian forensic
investigator. This investigator and top genetic
scientists from Russia and elsewhere began the
task of identifying all of the remains.
The Forensic team began their
investigation by extracting the mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) from the bones. Because Tsar
Nicholas was related the Royal family of Britain through Queen Victoria DNA from Prince
Charles was used to compare with that of the mass grave. mtDNA is found as a result of the
female relative in descendants. So both Prince Charles and
Tsar Nicholas would have mtDNA from Queen Victoria.
Other investigations were conducted after to verify
the scientist’s findings. At the time if the first investigation
the grave of Tsar Nicholas’ brother had not been identified;
however, since then, the grave of the Tsar’s brother was
found and their DNA was compared giving positive proof
that the remains found were that of the Tsar himself.

found in the mass grave in the Ural region of Russia.

Chapter 5 DNA Explore Worksheet
DNA Replication
Name ________________
How does DNA replicate in the cell? We will explore this process during this activity.
As DNA prepares to replicate the double helix begins to unwind much like the diagram
below. As it unwinds new deoxyribose phosphate groups begin to form with the proper matching
nitrogen bases. Complete the DNA segment replication below and answer the questions
D-Ribose = Deoxyribose (orange) P = Phosphate (purple)
D-Ribose
P
hydrogen bond
A = Adenine (Red), C = Cytosine (green), G = Guanine (blue), T = Thymine (yellow)
Color code your bases and side
1. When DNA replicates, how many DNA molecules result in the process?
2. The nitrogen bases always pair in certain ways, why is this important?
3. Where does this replication take place?
4. What are the sides of the DNA molecule made from?
5. What kind of bond keeps the DNA nitrogen bases together?
Laboratory: DNA Model
Name _________________
In this exercise you will create a three dimensional model of Deoxyribonucleic Acid or
DNA. You will use various model pieces that represent the components of the double helix and
the nitrogen bases that form the molecule
Kit parts
10 red (Phosphate molecules)
12 black (Deoxyribose molecules)
20 yellow tubes (bonds)
6 white (hydrogen bonds)
3 red tubes (Adenine)
3 blue tubes (Thymine)
3 green tubes (Guanine)
3 grey tubes (Cytosine)
1 black 4 prong stand
1 long grey tube
Construct one side of the DNA
1. Connect 1 phosphate molecule to a deoxyrobose molecule using the yellow tubes. Continue
constructing by alternating phosphate and deoxyribose so there are 6 deoxyrobise and 5
phosphates.
2. Complete the other side of the DNA using the same procedure.
3. Add the nitrogen bases to the sides pairing blue and red with a white hydrogen bond in
between and green and grey with a white hydrogen bond in between.
4. Now connect the long grey tube to the stand and slip the tube through the hydrogen bonds. As
you do this the model will begin to curl into the shape of the double helix.
5. In your notebooks, answer the following questions.
What is the shape of the DNA molecule?
What forms the side structure of DNA?
Draw the DNA molecule in your note book and label each component.
Can you imagine how DNA unwinds and separates to replicate itself?
Describe the process of replication in your notebook.

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) Fact Sheet
__________________________________________________________
In the last few days we have
explored the fundamental workings of the
DNA molecule. We have talked of
Replication and Protein Synthesis. But
what does it all mean and why RNA?
During cell reproduction we have found
that the DNA unwinds and separates. It
has also been learned that two identical
DNA strands are formed for each daughter
cell to have all the information it needs to
carry out cell functions. RNA plays a
critical role in protein production. Before
we examine the process further, we must
know the fundamental difference between DNA and RNA. RNA does not have two sides as
DNA. There is a slight difference in the sugar phosphate structure. RNA has one base that is
different than DNA. This base replaces thymine and is called uracil. RNA also comes in two
different types, messenger and transfer.
Messenger RNA is made in the cell nucleus as a polymerase unwinds and copies a
specific gene on a DNA molecule. Free Nucleotides
attach in the process creating the RNA molecule which is
then sent from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm for
protein Synthesis. It is in the cytoplasm that the Ribosome
begins the process of protein production using transfer
RNA to code for Amino Acids. There are twenty possible
Amino Acid combinations. There are more possibilities
than Amino Acids to the three base sequences. Some
combinations may code for the same amino acid or some
codes may mean begin or stop the sequence.

13. Amino Acid chains are also known as polypeptide chains if they are short and proteins if they
are long.
14. RNA differs from DNA in that it is a single strand, has uracil instead of thymine and has a
different sugar. There are two types, messenger and transfer.
15. Protein synthesis is the process by which DNA provides information via mRNA to create a
protein in the cytoplasm via tRNA and mRNA with amino acid chains.
