Presentation Transcript

  1. Genes and How they Work Chapter 15

  2. The Nature of Genes • Garrod • Beadle and Tatum • Francis Crick

  3. Beadle and Tatum Experiment • Used Neurospora crassa • One gene/one polypeptide hypothesis

  4. Central Dogma of Molecular Biology • DNA- RNA- Protein • Transcription to translation • Rule breakers? • Retrovirusese • Reverse Transcriptase

  5. The Genetic Code • Crick and Brenner • Codons • Spaced or Unspaced? • Frameshift Deletions

  6. Nirenberg Deciphered the Code • http://img.sparknotes.com/figures/1/132e5720f3b37836571a1aeb9d163ac3/genetic_code.gif

  7. Genetic Code Almost Universal • So where is it not the same?

  8. Transcription • Template Strand • Coding Strand • mRNA • Initiation • Elongation • Termination

  9. Translation • tRNA • Takes place on the ribosome • http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/media/translation.gif

  10. Types of RNA • mRNA- make RNA from DNA template • rRNA- found in ribosomes • tRNA-adapter molecule between mRNA and AA’s • snRNA’s- involved in the nuclear processing of eukaryotic pre-mRNA • SRP RNA-mediate protein synthesis in eukaryote • Micro-RNA- newly discovered

  11. Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic Gene Expression

  12. Videos • Eukaryotes vs prokaryotes • Translation • spliceosome

  13. Words to know • Promoter • Terminator • Operon

  14. Spliceosome • http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/gene/sf13x8bc.jpg

  15. Types of Mutations • Point Mutations • Bases substitution • Missense vs nonsense • Frameshift • Chromosomal Mutations • Deletions • Duplications • Inversions • Translocations

  16. Point Mutations • http://kvhs.nbed.nb.ca/gallant/biology/point_mutations.jpg
