Chapter 13 DNA Structure & Function DNA Structure & Function Mr. Karns Genetic Material Transformation DNA Structure Watson and Crick DNA Replication Prokaryotic versus Eukaryotic Replication Errors 2 DNA Structure & Function Genetic Material Frederick Griffith investigated virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae Concluded that virulence passed from the dead strain to the living strain Transformation Further research by Avery et al Discovered that DNA is the transforming substance DNA from dead cell was being incorporated into genome of living cells 3 Griffith’s Transformation Experiment 4 DNA Structure & Function Reproduction of Viruses Viruses consist of a protein coat (capsid) surrounding a nucleic acid core Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria Hershey and Chase: Radioactively labeled the DNA core and protein capsid of a phage Results indicated that DNA, not the protein, enters the host The DNA of the phage contains genetic information for producing new phages 5 Bacteria and Bacteriophages 6 Hershey and Chase Experiments 7 DNA Structure & Function Structure of DNA DNA contains: Two Nucleotides with purine bases - Adenine (A) - Guanine (G) Two Nucleotides with pyrimidine bases - Thymine (T) - Cytosine (C) 8 DNA Structure & Function 9 Chargaff’s Rules The amounts of A, T, G, and C in DNA: Identical in identical twins Varies between individuals of a species Varies more from species to species In each species, there are equal amounts of: A & T G & C All this suggests DNA uses complementary base pairing to store genetic info Human chromosome estimated to contain, on average, 140 million base pairs Number of possible nucleotide sequences 4,140,000,000 Nucleotide Composition of DNA 10 DNA Structure & Function 11 Watson and Crick Model Watson and Crick, 1953 Constructed a model of DNA Double-helix model is similar to a twisted ladder - Sugar-phosphate backbones make up the sides - Hydrogen-bonded bases make up the rungs Received a Nobel Prize in 1962 X-Ray Diffraction of DNA 12 Watson/Crick Model of DNA 13 Replication: Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic DNA Structure & Function 14 Prokaryotic Replication Bacteria have a single circular loop Replication moves around the circular DNA molecule in both directions Produces two identical circles Cell divides between circles, as fast as every 20 minutes Replication: Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic DNA Structure & Function 15 Eukaryotic Replication DNA replication begins at numerous points along linear chromosome DNA Unwinds and unzips into two strands Each old strand of DNA serves as a template for a new strand Complementary base-pairing forms new strand on each old strand Replication bubbles spread bi-directionally until they meet Semiconservative: One original strand is conserved in each daughter molecule Semiconservative Replication of DNA 16 Meselson and Stahl’s DNA replication experiment 17 Replication: Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic 18 DNA Structure & Function 19 Replication Errors Genetic variations are the raw material for evolutionary change Mutation: A permanent (but unplanned) change in basepair sequence - Some due to errors in DNA replication - Others are due to to DNA damage DNA repair enzymes are usually available to reverse most errors DNA Structure & Function Review Genetic Material Transformation DNA Structure Watson and Crick DNA Replication Prokaryotic versus Eukaryotic Replication Errors 20 Ending Slide Chapter 13 DNA Structure & Function
