Replication Transcription Translation DNA 1.Its structure is a Double Helix 2. Made up of nucleotides which consist of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base 3. Hydrogen Bonds hold the Nitrogenous Base Pairs 4. Complimentary bases pairs bond Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine Gene • A gene is a segment of DNA • A gene is a sequence of nucleotides that codes for a functional product (usually a protein) • 1 gene = 1000’s of base pairs • 41000 possibilities of combinations A Gene is a Segment of DNA When a gene is expressed, DNA is transcribed to produce RNA and RNA is then translated to produce proteins. Genotype and Phenotype • Genotype- the letters 1. Genetic Composition of an Organism 2. Represents the Potential Properties • Phenotype- the actual organism 1. The Expression of the Genes 2. What You See Replication • Replication occurs before a cell divides so that each new cell formed can have a copy of the DNA • Occurs in the nucleus of the cell • 1 Strand 2 Complementary Strands • The primary enzyme in this process is DNA Polymerase One More Time! Hydrogen bond (H-bonds) thymine adenine cytosine guanine phosphate deoxyribose sugar Sugar / phosphate “strand” Nitrogenous base “rung” DNA nucleotide Deoxyribose sugar phosphate RNA nucleotide ribose sugar Nitrogenous base (guanine) phosphate Nitrogenous base (uracil) Step 1: Hydrogen bonds between complimentary bases break DNA “unzips” Step 2: DNA strands pull apart from each other Step 3: DNA nucleotides in the cell match up with each side of the “unzipped” DNA each “unzipped’ strands forms a template for a new strand Step 4: Each “old’ strand forms a template for a “new” strand two identical DNA molecules form “new” strand, identical sequence to the original “old” (original) strand Transcription • The process of DNA making a complimentary strand of RNA. • Occurs in the nucleus of the cell • 1 Strand DNA 2 Strands RNA • The primary enzyme involved in this process is RNA Polymerase DNA RNA Label the Following One More Time! Step 1: Hydrogen bonds between complimentary bases break DNA “unzips” Step 2: DNA strands pull apart from each other Step 3: RNA nucleotides in the cell match up with only one side of the “unzipped” DNA each “unzipped’ strands forms a template for a mRNA strand RNA nucleotide Step 4: RNA nucleotides continue to match up with “unzipped” DNA until the message is completely transcribed mRNA strand One side of DNA strand mRNA strand Step 4: mRNA strand breaks off from the DNA strand One side of DNA strand Step 5: mRNA strand leaves the nucleus for the ribosome Step 6: Once the mRNA leaves, the DNA “zips” back together Translation • The process in which an amino acid chain is made from mRNA template • 1 Strand RNA Amino Acid Chain Protein • This occurs in the cytoplasm with the help of ribosomes The problem: How does a particular sequence of nucleotides specify a particular sequence of amino acids? By means of transfer RNA molecules, each specific for one amino acid and for a particular triplet of nucleotides in mRNA called a codon. The family of tRNA molecules enables the codons in a mRNA molecule to be translated into the sequence of amino acids in the protein. RNA and Protein Synthesis • RNA is a Single Stranded Nucleic Acid and has Uracil instead of thymine • RNA Acts as a Messenger between DNA and Ribosomes • Process Takes Amino Acids and Forms Proteins Why Is It Necessary? • DNA is in the Nucleus • Ribosomes are in the Cytoplasm • This requires a Messenger to go between the nucleus and the cytoplasm Definitions • Codon 1. Three-base segment of mRNA that specify amino acids. • Anticodon 1. Three-base segment of tRNA that dock with a codon. 2. Docking results in depositing of amino acid which is added to a chain . Protein Synthesis • Proteins are coded directly from the mRNA with 3 bases (one codon) for each amino acid. What’s up with that? Mutation • A change in the nitrogenous base sequence of DNA; that causes a change in the product coded for by the mutated gene. Mutations What happens when you get insertions or deletions of bases in the DNA sequence? Usually you end up with a mess.

Sickle-Cell Anemia Definitions • Carcinogens Substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin; may induce cancer or increase its incidence and can affect any cells or tissues • Mutagens may induce hereditary genetic defects or increase their incidence and effect the germ cells (gonads) • Teratogens may induce non-hereditary congenital malformations or increase their incidence and effect the growing fetus Mutagens • • • • • • • Tobacco products Nitrous Acid Mold Toxins X-rays Gamma Rays UV Radiation Some Artificial Sweeteners
