The DNA Connection

The DNA Connection. Genes. Main function of genes are the production of proteins in an organisms cells Proteins help determine the size, shape, color etc. of an organism. Remember. C hromosomes are composed mostly of DNA DNA is made of 4 nitrogen bases Adenine Thymine Guanine Cytosine.

  1. The DNA Connection

  2. Genes • Main function of genes are the production of proteins in an organisms cells • Proteins help determine the size, shape, color etc. of an organism

  3. Remember • Chromosomes are composed mostly of DNA • DNA is made of 4 nitrogen bases • Adenine • Thymine • Guanine • Cytosine

  4. Genes and DNA • A gene is a section of a DNA molecule that contains the information to code for one specific protein • A gene is made up of a series of nitrogen bases in a specific order • ATGACGTAC • Anywhere from several hundred to millions of these bases can form a single gene

  5. Order of the bases • Genes contain codes that determine the structure of proteins • The order of nitrogen bases along a gene forms a specific genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produces

  6. Video • F:\BRC\Science 7\translation_basic.mp4

  7. Protein Synthesis Book • Make a book about the 4 steps of protein Synthesis • Use pg 100-101 for reference
