DNA: The Genetic Material Nucleotide: A subunit in a nucleic acid chain, that consists of a sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous base. A. Traits are passed from parents to offspring B. Genes are instructions for inherited traits Purine: A nitrogenous base that has a double-ring structure Pyrimidine: A nitrogenous base that has a single-ring structure I. DNA: The Genetic Material C. Genes are made from DNA D. DNA is a primary material that causes recognizable, inheritable characteristics in related groups of organisms II. Searching for Genetic Material A. Three major experiments led to the conclusion that DNA is the genetic material in cells: 1. Frederick Griffith’s Discovery of Transformation (1928) A. Took 1st steps in figuring out whether genes are made of DNA or protein B. Worked with Streptococcus pneumoniae 1 2/6/17 3. Griffith’s Experiments a.

Used information from Chargaff, Wilkins, and Franklin Section 2: Replication of DNA DNA Replication: The process of making a copy of DNA DNA Helicase: An enzyme that unwinds/ unzips the DNA double helix during DNA replication DNA Polymerase: AN enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the DNA Molecule I. DNA Replication A. DNA is made of 2 complementary base pairs E. Allows 2 exact copies of DNA to be B. Adenine always pairs with Thymine made from the original molecule C. Guanine always pairs with Cytosine F. Process of making a copy of DNA is D. If strands are separated each can serve as a DNA replication pattern for new complementary strands G. Steps of Replication 1. Unwinding and separating DNA strands a. Double Helix unwinds 2. Adding Complementary Bases b. (Helicase) enzymes separate DNA strands, forming Y-shapes a. At each replication fork, new nucleotides are added to each side of the DNA strand (DNA polymerase, Primase, Ligase) c. Y-shape at each end of “unzipping” is called a replication fork b. The original 2 strands are unchanged. Each serves as a template for a new strand = 2 new strands 6 2/6/17 II. Replication 3. Formation of two identical DNA molecules a. Each identical double-stranded DNA molecule is made of one new strand and one original stand C. DNA Polymerase 1. Protein/enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the DNA molecule 2.

Protein/enzyme unwinds/unzips DNA during replication Section 3: RNA and Gene Expression RNA: Ribonucleic acid; a natural polymer that is present in all living cells and that plays a role in protein synthesis Gene Expression: The manifestation of the genetic material of an organism in the form of specific traits Amoeba Sisters DNA Replication (7:58) Transcription: The process of forming a nucleic acid by using another molecule as a template Translation: The portion of protein synthesis that takes place at ribosomes and that uses the codons in mRNA molecules to specify the sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chains I. DNA provides the original information from which proteins are made A. DNA does not actually make the protein B. RNA is essential in taking the genetic information from DNA and building proteins 7 2/6/17 II. An Overview of Gene Expression A. Gene expression produces proteins by transcription and translation B. Transcription: DNA to RNA 1. 1st stage of gene expression 2. Making RNA from information in DNA 3. Transcription is similar to copying (transcription) notes from the overhead (DNA) to your note packet (RNA) C. Translation: RNA to Protein 1. 2nd Stage of Gene Expression 2. Uses the information in RNA to make specific proteins 3. Translation is similar to translating a sentence in one language (RNA, the nucleic acid language) to another language (protein, the amino acid language) III. RNA: A Major Player A. In cells, three types of RNA complement DNA and translate the genetic code into proteins B. RNA Versus DNA 1. Similar a. Both have nucleic acids b. Both have 4 bases c. Both carry information d. Both have bases adenine, cytosine, and 2. Different a. RNA is single stranded / DNA is double stranded b. RNA nucleotides have ribose sugar / DNA nucleotides have deoxyribose sugar c. RNA has a nitrogen base called uracil (U) instead of DNA’s thymine guanine DNA v. RNA 3. DNA Base Pairs 4. RNA Base Pairs a. A=T a. A=U b. C=G b. C=G 8 2/6/17 C. Types of RNA mRNA 1. 3 Types of RNA play a role in gene expression a. Messenger RNA (mRNA) 1) Produced when DNA is transcribed in RNA 2) Complementary to the DNA sequence of a gene 3) mRNA carries instructions for making a protein from a gene and delivers them to the site of translation Types of RNA b. Transfer RNA (tRNA) 1) During translation, tRNA “reads” the mRNA tRNA sequence 2) Translates the mRNA sequence into a specific sequence of protein subunits or amino acids 3) tRNA has amino acids attached 4) Act as decoders by matching mRNA sequence and placing amino acids on protein chains Types of RNA c. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 1) RNA that is found in ribosomes to help make proteins IV. Transcription: Reading the Gene A. During transcription, the information in a specific region of DNA (a gene) is transcribed, or copied into mRNA B. Transcription carried out by protein called RNA polymerase 9 2/6/17 C. Steps of Transcription 1. Step 1 a. RNA polymerase binds to the specific DNA sequence in the gene called the promoter b. Promoter site is the start location 2. Step 2 a. RNA polymerase unwinds and separates 2 strands of double helix to expose DNA bases 3. Step 3 a. RNA polymerase reads the gene b. RNA polymerase moves along the bases on the DNA like a train moves along the track D. Transcription vs. Replication 1. Similar a. Both use DNA as a template 2. Different a. Transcription: RNA is made from DNA Steps of Transcription, cont. 3. Step 3 a. RNA polymerase reads the gene b. RNA polymerase moves along the bases on the DNA like a train moves along the track c. Transcription follows same base pairing rules as DNA replication except uracil takes the place of thymine d. Forms single strand of RNA e. DNA double helix closes up behind the moving RNA polymerase f. RNA polymerase eventually reaches a stop location V. The Genetic Code: Three letter “Words” A. A gene is compared to a sentence of words that is first transcribed and then translated into a protein. Replication: DNA is made from DNA b. Transcription: 1 strand of DNA is used to make RNA strand Replication: both strands of DNA are used to make 2 DNA strands B. Codons of DNA Codons of DNA, cont. 1. Each word is made up of 3 adjacent nucleotide bases 3. Each codon specifies only one amino acid called a codon 2. Codons match 1 of 20 amino acids or act as a start or 4. Several amino acids have more than one codon stop signal 10 2/6/17 Codons of DNA, cont. 5. System of matching codons and amino acids is called Amino Acids to Proteins the genetic code 6. Genetic code is based on codons that each represent a specific amino acid. VI. Translation: RNA to Proteins A. Process of converting the language of RNA into the language of proteins B. Translation occurs in a sequence of steps, involves three kinds of RNA, and results in a complete polypeptide 1. Step 1 a. Amino acid is added to one end of each tRNA b. Other end has anticodon b. Anticodon is 3-nucleotide sequence that is complementary to an mRNA codon c. After leaving the nucleus, mRNA joins with ribosome and tRNA d. RNA start codon AUG signals the beginning of a protein chain e. tRNA molecule carrying methionine at one end and the anticodon UAC, at the other, binds to the start codon 2. Step 2 a. tRNA molecule that has the correct anticodon and amino acid binds to the second codon on the mRNA b. Peptide bond forms between the two amino acids c. 1st tRNA is released from the ribosome d. tRNA leaves its amino acid behind 3. Step 3 a. Ribosome moves one codon down the mRNA b. Amino acid chain continues to grow as each new amino acid bonds to the chain 4. Step 4 a. Process is repeated until a stop codon is reached 11 2/6/17 5. Step 5 C. Repeating Translation a. Newly made protein falls off the ribosome b. Ribosome is free to begin translation again with another mRNA 1. Translation happens quickly and often 2. Several ribosomes can translate one DNA strand at a time a. This makes several copies of a protein very quickly Translation VII. Complexities of Gene Expression A. The relationship between genes and their effect is complex. Despite the neatness of the genetic code, every gene cannot be simply linked to a single outcome B. Some genes are expressed at certain times under certain conditions C. Some traits result from the expression of multiple genes D. Final outcome of gene expression is affected by: 1. The environment of the cell 2. Presence of other cell 3. Timing of gene expression https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nQH0GqFn6k&list=PLj8vIYYJwwPnf60rp2QQhVRzq-EFNOU3k&index=5 12
