  1. DNA The Secrets it tells us about Evolution!

  2. Remember: • Gene – • Chromosome – • 1 molecule of DNA = 1 chromosome • What are the building blocks of DNA? • What are the building blocks of protein?

  3. How do genes code for genetic traits? • Answer: 1 gene  code for  one protein! • Examples: • Eye color • Hair color • Normal Blood clotting vs. hemophilia

  4. We know how the code works! • CCCGATATTACGCTTAGGTACCGTC • Every 3 bases code for one amino acid!(See board)

  5. DNA & Evolution • Chimpanzees and Humans share 98-99% of their DNA! • CCCGTCAGGCTAATACGAGCGGT • CCCGTCGGGCTAATACGAGCGGT

  6. DNA & Evolution • Who can read the human genetic code? • The genetic code is UNIVERSAL! • Practical Implication:Genetic engineering: Bacteria are programmed with HUMAN insulin gene to produce………….?
