  1. DNA Replication & Protein Synthesis Designed by Mr. Gaccione

  2. BioTech: DNA Review

  3. The Size of DNA... DNA is located in the nucleus in the form of chromosomes.If the DNA of one cell is stretched out, it makes a 7 ft. long string.There are 5 trillion cells in the human body.If you connected all the DNA together, it would be long enough that it would take light over 10 hours to travel its length.

  4. The Size of DNA... • Chromosomes contain a single, long piece of DNA • A chromosome is about 0.004 mm long • The DNA is about 4 cm long • This is 10,000x longer than the chromosome • Thus DNA must be wrapped tightly to fit into cells • Imagine fitting 900 yards (300m) of rope into a backpack.

  5. The Size of DNA... • The DNA molecule looks like a ladder that has been twisted. • The DNA molecule is • made from two strands, • twisted together in a • double helix. • Watson & Crick – • created the double • helix model for DNA.

  6. The Structure of DNA DNA is a long molecule made up of repeating units called nucleotides.Each nucleotide is made up of three parts: 1. phosphate group2. carbon sugar (deoxyribose)3. nitrogen base

  7. Repeating Nucleotides • The sides of the DNA ladder(backbone) is formed by phosphate and sugar groups. • The nitrogenous bases are • the rungs of the DNA ladder. • DNA is 250 million nitrogen bases long. • RNA is 3000 nitrogen bases long.

  8. Nitrogenous Bases • There are four kinds of nitrogenous bases. • They are divided into two classes: purines and pyrmidines • Purines (bigger) – Adenine and Guanine • Pyrmidines (smaller) – Cytosine and Thymine

  9. Chargaff’s Rules • Chargaff discovered how the nitrogenous bases bond together. • Adeninealways bonds with Thymine Cytosinealways bonds with Guanine

  10. DNA

  11. Hydrogen bonding

  12. DNA Sequence • The particular order of the nitrogen bases is called the DNA sequence. • This sequence makes each individual unique. • An elm tree, eel & an elephant has the same DNA, but what makes them different is the order of the bases.

  13. DNA & Genes • Each chromosome carries 2,000 genes. • 23 chromosomes = 30,000 to 40,000 genes This is known as “The Human Genome” • Genes are locations on chromosomes that give us our traits. • Many of these are common to all human beings. • So, 99.9% of your DNA is identical to everyone else's.

  14. DNA & Genes • The remaining 0.01% influences the differences between us. • height, hair color and • susceptibility to a particular disease • Environmental factors, such as lifestyle (smoking and nutrition) also influence the way we look and our susceptibility to disease.

  15. Mutations • Mutations are caused by mutatgens. Examples of mutagens: UV rays, smoking & radiation • Mutations are mistakes in the nitrogen bases or in the DNA sequence.

  16. Point Mutation C

  17. Thymine mutation • Caused by exposure to UV light. • 2 adjacent thymine residuesbecome covalently linked.

  18. Mutations • RNA polymerase adds ribonucleotides not deoxynucleotides • RNA polymerase does not have the ability to proofread what they transcribe • RNA will have an error 1 in every 10,000 nucleotides • DNA will have an error 1 in ten million nucleotides)

  19. DNA Replication DNA replication makes an exact copy of the strand, complete with 1 old and 1 new strand. Step 1 DNA unwinds & unzips with the help of DNA polymerase Step 2 Each strand of the parent DNA is used as a template to make the new daughter strand. Step 3 Free floating nucleotides are added by DNA polymerase.

  21. DNA to mRNA to Protein • ･DNA acts as a “manager” in the process of making proteins. • ･DNA is the template or starting sequence that is copied into RNA that is then used to make a protein.

  22. RNA differs from DNA • Ribose is the sugar rather than deoxyribose. • Uracil instead of Thymine Adenine, Guanine Cytosine stay the same. 3. Single stranded

  23. Ribosome Three Different RNAs • messenger RNA (mRNA) – takes a message or 3 letter code(codon) from DNA GUA---UUC---GUU---AGU---UGA • ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – meeting place for three RNAs 3. transfer RNA (tRNA) – brings anti-codon & amino acid

  24. Protein Synthesis -2 StepsTranscription & translation Transcription: First step in protein synthesis mRNA transcribes a message (code) from DNA Occurs in the nucleus

  26. Protein Synthesis -Transcription Step 1 DNA unwinds & unzips with the help of RNA polymerase Step 2 Only one strand of the parent DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. Step 3 Free floating nucleotides are added by RNA polymerase, making mRNA.

  34. Protein Synthesis -Translation Review • Translation is the meeting of all three RNAs (mRNA, rRNA & tRNA). • It takes place in the cytoplasm. • The goal is to string together amino acids to form a protein. • Proteins make up our skin, blood, muscles, heart, enzymes, stomach lining & intestinal linings.
