  1. Why is DNA called a nucleic acid? Introduction: DNA REPLICATION ________ Chromosomes in the original cell ________ Chromosomes after DNA replication Two cells; each with _______ Chromosomes DNA Replication makes identical copes of the DNA in the nucleus Mitosis: The division of the DNA in the nucleus Cytokinesis: The division of the cytoplasm

  2. Nucleotides:The Building Blocks of DNA DNA and RNA are Nucleic Acids. They are composed of nucleotides Base 5 Carbon Sugar _______ _____

  3. Two nucleotides • Bases • A = Adenine • T = Thymine • G = Guanine • C = Cytosine Base Sugar Phosphate

  4. Purines Pyrimidines The Bases C T G A ____ Hydrogen Bonds ____ Hydrogen Bonds ____ Hydrogen Bonds ____ Hydrogen Bonds

  7. The Enzyme ________________ is Required for DNA Replication

  8. The Bases In Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA Only in _____ Only in _____

  9. DNA is _________ stranded The 5C sugar in DNA is ________________ The 4 bases found in DNA are: ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ RNA is __________ stranded The 5C sugar in RNA is ________________ The 4 bases found in RNA are: ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ DNA Versus RNA

  10. Protein Synthesis Transcription Translation • DNA RNA Protein

  11. Review: Proteins • Proteins are composed of? • The primary structure of a protein is its? • The site of protein synthesis it the?

  12. The RNA Dictionary

  13. The template codes for the RNA strand This strand does not code for RNA Sample Problem DNA: RNA: Protein TAC AAA CTA CCT ATA ACT ATA ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ ____ ____ RNA Polymerase RNA Polymerase ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ ____ ____ *Note: The DNA template is the strand that codes for the RNA

  14. Sample Problem DNA: RNA: Protein TAC AAA CTA CCT ATA ACT ATA ATG TTT GAT GGA TAT TGA TAT *The template The other half RNA Polymerase AUG UUU GAU GGA UAU UGA UAU Met Phe Asp Gly Tyr *Note: The DNA template is the strand that codes for the RNA

  20. Mutations • Carcinogens • For mutations to be passed to your offspring they must occur in what types of cells? • Examples:______________________________ Somatic Cells Versus Germ-line Cells • Carcinogens typically affect what types of cells?___________________

  21. Sickle Cell Anemoa

  22. Summary • The genetic code is universal • Mutations can be harmful • Mutations are a source of genetic variability • The genetic code is a triplet code. Three bases code for one amino acid • Substances that cause mutations are called mutagenic agents. Many mutagenic agents are also carcinogenic.
