Chapter 12 DNA and RNA There are four kinds of bases in DNA: • • • • adenine guanine cytosine thymine DNA Double Helix Chapter 12-2 Chromosomes and DNA Replication DNA makes up chromosomes! DNA and Chromosomes • DNA and Chromosomes • In prokaryotic cells, DNA is located in the cytoplasm. • Most prokaryotes have a single DNA molecule containing nearly all of the cell’s genetic information. DNA and Chromosomes Chromosome E. Coli Bacterium Bases on the Chromosomes DNA and Chromosomes • Many eukaryotes have 1000 times the amount of DNA as prokaryotes. • Eukaryotic DNA is located in the cell nucleus inside chromosomes. • The number of chromosomes varies widely from one species to the next. DNA and Chromosomes • Chromosome Structure – Eukaryotic chromosomes contain DNA and protein, tightly packed together to form chromatin. – Chromatin consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins called histones. – DNA and histone molecules form nucleosomes. – Nucleosomes pack together, forming a thick fiber. DNA and Chromosomes • Chromosomes in Prokaryotic Cells (bacteria) – One circular chromosome – Found in cytoplasm • Chromosomes in Eukaryotic Cells – Found in nucleus – DNA found in several chromosomes – Number of chromosomes will vary with species DNA Replication • Each strand of DNA has all the information needed to reconstruct the other half • Strands are complementary and can be used to make the other strand A T C G T A C G G C T A A T DNA Replication • During DNA replication – The DNA molecule separates into two strands. – Produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing. – Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a template for the new strand.

Enzymes unzips DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds. Strands separate at the replication fork. Replication Fork DNA Replication 2. New complementary nucleotides are added to make a new strand 3. The enzyme DNA polymerase attaches nucleotides to produce new strands. DNA polymerase proofreads each strand. 12-3 RNA and Protein Synthesis Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of PROTEINS. Genetic messages can be decoded by copying part of the nucleotide sequence from DNA into RNA. RNA contains coded information for making proteins. Central Idea of Genetics! DNA RNA Transcription PROTEIN Translation RNA • RNA – Ribonucleic Acid – Composed of a long strain of nucleotides – Contains sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogen base RNA DNA Ribose sugar Deoxyribose sugar Singe-stranded Doubled-stranded Uricil Thymine RNA • Types: – Messenger RNA (mRNA) – messenger from DNA to the rest of the cell – Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – make up ribosomes – Transfer RNA (tRNA) – transfer amino acids to the ribosomes Transcription • The process of making RNA by copying part of the DNA sequence into a complementary RNA sequence Transcription • Requires enzyme RNA polymerase 1. RNA Polymerase binds to DNA and separates strands 2. RNA Polymerase uses DNA as template and assembles complementary RNA strands Transcription Transcription Animations • • http://www-class.unl.edu/biochem/gp2/m_biology/animation/gene/gene_a2.html http://www.stolaf.edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/molgenetics/transcription.swf RNA Editing • RNA Editing – The DNA of eukaryotic genes contains sequences of nucleotides, called introns, that are not involved in coding for proteins. – The DNA sequences that code for proteins are called exons. – When RNA molecules are formed, introns and exons are copied from DNA. RNA Editing Exon Intron • The introns are cut out of RNA molecules. • The exons are the spliced together to form mRNA. DNA Pre-mRNA mRNA Cap Tail Protein Review • Proteins are made by joining – AMINO ACIDS • Each protein contains a combination of the 20 amino acids • The function of the protein is determined by number and sequence of amino acids • (A polypeptide is a protein!) Protein 1 Protein 2 Genetic Code • The genetic code is the “language” of mRNA instructions. • A codon consists of three consecutive nucleotides on mRNA that specify a particular amino acid. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid that is to be placed on the polypeptide chain. Genetic Code RNA Sequence UCGCACGGU Codon Sequence – UCG–CAC–GGU Use the Amino Acid Guide to determine amino acid – UCG–CAC–GGU Amino acid sequence – UCG–CAC–GGU Serine – Histidine – Glycine Translation • Translation is the decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein). • Translation takes place on ribosomes. • During translation, the cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins. Translation 1. Messenger RNA is transcribed in the nucleus, and then enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. Translation 2. The ribosome “reads” the mRNA codon and the corresponding amino acid is brought to the ribosome by the tRNA Amino Acid Amino Acid codon Translation 3. The ribosome forms bonds between the amino acids to form the protein Bond formed Translation 4. Translation continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA and releases the protein (polypeptide) The BIG Picture!
