10.1 DNADeoxyribonucleic Acid • Experiments • Griffith – • MICE!! • pneumonia • Determined that some how the harmful strain infected the harmless • Discovered Transformation
Oswald Avery • What caused transformation? • Different enzymes to try and stop transformation. • Deoxyribonuclease , no transformation. • Taking place in the DNA!!!
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase • Studied viruses or bacteriophages. (made of DNA or RNA and a protein shell) • Used radioactive markers on the protein shell and the DNA to see what is passed…found that genetic material was in the DNA.
James Watson, Francis Crick, and Rosalind Franklin • Discovered the double helix structure.
Structure of DNA • 3 Main parts of the nucleotide • Deoxyribose – 5 carbon sugar • Phosphate • Nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine) • Double Helix • Chargaff’s rule (base pairing) • Guanine – cytosine • Adenine - thymine • Held together by hydrogen bonds
Purines • Pyrimidine Cytosine Thymine Guanine Adenine
10.3 Chromosomes and DNA replication • Prokaryotes – DNA in cytoplasm • Eukaryotes – DNA in nucleus • DNA extremely long!!! • Human DNA actual size is 3 meters long • Chromosome 13 has a DNA segment 3.2 cm long
DNA Replication • Use rules of base pairing • Original = GTTACCATG creates new strand CAATGGTAC. • At any point DNA can begin replication (replication fork) • Helicases separate the DNA strands. • Enzyme called DNA polymerase start the replication • Semi-conservative – not all of it is new. • Replicates in both directions until done, read in only one direction.
Errors in Replication • Mutation • Proofreading and repair can prevent this.
10.4 RNA and Protein Synthesis • Flow of genetic info • DNA RNA Protein • Transcription translation protein synthesis • Fig 10-12
Types of RNA • Messenger RNA (mRNA) – carry copies of instruction from DNA • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – part of ribosome’s where proteins are assembled. • Transfer RNA (tRNA) – Transfers each amino acid to ribosome from codes.
Transcription • Starts with RNA polymerase that finds a promoter on the DNA. • Separates strand of DNA, makes a copy (mRNA), then DNA returns to normal • RNA Editing (pre-mRNA) • Not all RNA strands are perfect, some have introns and exons. • Introns are useless parts, exons are good parts, introns are removed and exons are pushed together to form one whole sequence, then capped. • mRNA is formed until reaches a terminal signal
Genetic code • Codon - Sets of 3 • UCGCACGGU = UCG CAC GGU = serine – histidine – glycine Pg 207 One represents start (methionine , AUG, 3 represents stop)
Translation • Decoding of mRNA • Pg 208 (know process, find tRNA, mRNA, ribosome, nucleus, polypeptide chain, codon, anticodon.
In your Notes • Write TACAATGCTCAAACT • 1. mRNA Strand to match • And Decode
