What is recombinant DNA and how is it created and describe on use of this technology: Pre-AP Biology DNA and Biotechnology Study Guide Structure of DNA: Number of strands _2- double___. Parallel or antiparallel? __antiparallel____. Rosalind Franklin’s x-ray crystallography image indicated that the 3-D shape of the molecule was __helical_. Chargaff’s ratios indicated that there is complementary base pairing: A with _T_ and C with G_. If the amount of A in a species DNA is 30%, the amount of T is 30%, C is _20% and G is 20%_. The bonds between the bases (A, T, C and G) are _hydrogen_. While the bonds between nucleotides (between the sugar and phosphates of the backbone) are _covalent_. Watson and Crick were the first to build and publish an accurate model of the DNA molecule. Add labels to the diagram: sugar (5), phosphate (6), A (3), T (4), H-bonds (1), covalent bonds (2). Structure of nucleotide: Describe the relationship of the nucleotide to DNA (include the vocabulary terms monomer and polymer) ___nucleotides are the monomers of the polymer called DNA____ A is the phosphate group, B is the sugar (deoxyribose for DNA) and C is the nitrogenous base Meselson Stahl experiment: According the Meselson Stahl experiment, DNA replication is: _____semi-conservative______ Draw a picture model of the Meselson Stahl experiment findings. Include: light versus dark nucleotides (difference in shading), the initial DNA molecule and the two molecules that result after replication has been completed. Each side of the original DNA molecule serves as a template and new nucleotides are added based on base-pairing rules (A bonds with T and C bond with G). Half of each molecule is composed of the original nucleotides (dark) and half from new nucleotides (light). What percentage of the original nucleotides would be remaining after 1 round of replication: _1/2_ after 2 rounds: _1/4 after 3 rounds: _1/8_ after 4 rounds: _1/16_. Describe and explain this pattern: The pattern is exponential decay, reduced each round by ½ of the previous because of the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication. DNA replication: Which enzyme is responsible for unwinding the double-helix? ___helicase_____ Which enzyme is responsible for building each complementary new strand using the original strands as a template? _____DNA polymerase________ How does this enzyme know which bases to add to the growing new strands of DNA? base-pair rules (A w. T and C w. G) Describe three times (reasons) that a cell would need to replicate its DNA: growth, replacement, reproduction When, in the cell-cycle is DNA replicated? S-phase (S stands for DNA synthesis) Compare/contrast DNA and RNA: Comparison Name of sugar List of nucleotides Number of strands Where found in the cell Types of DNA deoxyribose A, T, C, G 2 nucleus Nuclear, mitochondrial RNA Ribose A, U, C, G 1 Nucleus, cytoplasm mRNA, tRNA, rRNA Transcription and Translation: Central dogma: DNA →mRNA →protein. Transcription is the copying of the information stored in the DNA molecule of a gene into a mRNA molecule and this occurs in the nucleus. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm or on the E.R. on a ribosome and involves tRNA molecules bringing amino acids in the correct order (because each tRNA anticodon corresponds to a mRNA codon) to translate the code of mRNA nucleotides into a polypeptide (protein). Mutations: A mutation is a random change in DNA code that occurs during DNA replication or through a failure in repair mechanisms. The significance is that mutation is the primary source of genetic diversity – it is how we get brand new alleles. Genetic diversity is necessary for evolution through natural selection. Some mutations are silent (no change in amino acid) because of redundancy in the codons (64 codons for 20 amino acids) as a result many mutations do not affect the protein product. A frame-shift mutation results from the addition or deletion of one or two nucleotides, thereby shifting the reading-frame and changing all amino acids downstream. As a result, the earlier this occurs in a gene, the larger the impact. A simple substitution mutation (A→T) resulted in the sickle-cell allele. The resulting hemoglobin protein clumps together into long rods, which distort the shape of red-blood cells. Being heterozygous is an advantage in malarial-zones because it confers partial resistance to malaria. No advantage where there is no malaria. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): PCR quickly amplifies (makes many copies) of DNA. It uses a heat-stable DNA polymerase enzyme (taq polymerase) from a thermophilic bacterium and alternate heating and cooling cycles. Restriction enzymes: Restriction enzymes come from bacteria; bacteria use them protect themselves from viruses because the enzymes chop up viral DNA. Researchers use them to cut DNA into fragments to create DNA fingerprints in gel electrophoresis and to insert foreign genes when making recombinant DNA Two cuts by EcoRI (GAATTC), resulting in three fragments with the following sizes in base-pairs (from left to right): 11, 5, and 5. Gel electrophoresis: DNA is loaded at the negative side because DNA is negatively charged and would thus be repelled and travel through the gel towards the positive electrode. Recombinant DNA is DNA that is a combination of DNA from more than one organism. It is created by cutting both pieces of DNA with the same restriction enzyme. The sticky-ends will have complementary base-pairs, allowing the two pieces of DNA to connect together. DNA ligase solidifies the bonds. The human gene for insulin has been inserted into bacteria and today bacteria manufacture human insulin for those with diabetes.
