DNA • What is DNA? Why is it important to you? • DNA is your genetic information that codes for your traits • What does DNA code for? • Proteins which determine traits
DNA • What does DNA look like? • A twisting ladder or double helix • What are the three main parts of DNA? • Sugar (deoxyribose) • Phosphate • nitrogen base NB + sugar + Phosphate= nucleotide
Draw DNA first labeling the 3 parts of DNA and then circle the nucleotides.
DNA The 3 main parts of DNA make a nucleotide. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA.
DNA • How do these bases in DNA code for proteins? • The order of the bases tell your cells to make certain proteins. • In the end, what does DNA code for? • Proteins
DNA • What step did we add? • mRNA
mRNA vs. DNA mRNA is very similar to DNA… But there are differences.
mRNA vs. DNA • How many strands does DNA have? • 2, it is called double stranded • mRNA has only 1 strand • It is called single stranded
mRNA vs. DNA • What kind of sugar is found in DNA? • Deoxyribose (D for DNA) • mRNA has a different sugar • Ribose (R for RNA)
mRNA vs. DNA • What are the 4 nitrogen bases in DNA? • A- Adenine • T- Thymine • G- Guanine • C- Cytosine • What do each pair up with? • A with T • G with C
mRNA vs. DNA • mRNA does not have a “T” (Thymine) and instead has a “U” for Uracil. Therefore, what are the 4 nitrogen bases for mRNA? • DNAmRNA • A U • T A • G C • C G
mRNA vs. DNA • What is DNA’s job/function? • It is your genetic information that codes for mRNA • mRNA’s job is to code for specific proteins. What does the proteins eventually make? • Traits • Where is DNA always located? • Nucleus
mRNA vs. DNA • Can DNA ever leave the nucleus? • No** • Because DNA cannot ever leave the nucleus, it must code for another form to leave the nucleus.
Transcription Draw the Central Dogma again and determine what DNA codes for next:
Transcription • Transcription= • The process of making mRNA from DNA • If DNA cannot leave the nucleus, then where must transcription occur? • In the nucleus.
Transcription • Similar: • Both have nucleotides
Different: DNAmRNA Double stranded Single Stranded Deoxyribose sugar Ribose Sugar A with T DNA mRNA T with A A U G with C T A C with G G C C G 4. Job= codes for mRNA Job=code for proteins 5. Located in the nucleus Located in nucleus during transcription
Translation Remember the Central Dogma:
Translation Translation= The process where mRNA codes for proteins by using tRNA How mRNA codes for proteins using tRNA:
Translation Key players in Translation: Codon: 3 mRNA bases Protein: A chain of amino acids made at a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
Translation Draw the process of Translation:
Translation • Other key Players in Translation: • These are RNA molecules used during translation • tRNA- • Shape- is like a clover leaf • Anti-codon- 3 RNA bases that match the mRNA sequence • Amino Acid- attached to the other end of tRNA • Job- Carries amino acids during translation
Translation mRNA- The blueprint that takes the DNA message to the ribosomes for translation.
Mutations • What is a mutation? • a change in DNA • Mutation during DNA replication: • What happens during DNA replication? • A copy of DNA is made • Sometimes DNA copies itself incorrectly, therefore, when mRNA is made, it is also incorrect.
Substitution • If a codon ACA changes to AUA will the codon change? • If a codon ACA changes to AUA will the amino acid change? • If a codon ACA changes to ACU, will the amino acid change? • If a codon ACA changes to ACU. What will happen to the protein? • Will a change in mRNA change the codon? • Will a change in mRNA always change the amino acid? • Will a change in amino acid change the protein? YES YES NO Nothing will happen to the protein b/c both codons code for the same amino acid YES NO YES
2. Insertion: Example: THE CAT ATE THE RAT Insert an A in front of the sentence and divide the letters into codons. What will it read now? TH ECA TAT ETH ERA T A
Deletions: Example: AUG ACA GGU UGU UGA Amino Acids: MET THR GLY CYS Stop If C is deleted and you keep this sentence in sets of 3 (just as in an mRNA codon), what will it read now? Order? AUG AAG GGU GUU GA__ AA? MET LYS VAL VAL ?
