Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA(Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

  2. Who Discovered DNA? Rosalind Franklin Watson & Crick

  3. What is DNA ? • DNA = Deoxyribose nucleic acid • The sides are made of ___________________ • The rungs are made of ___________________ • Shape = _______________________________ Double Helix polymer

  4. Nucleotides What is a nucleotide? One nucleotide Is made of … ______________ ______________ ______________ Draw one Nucleotide H Deoxyribose

  5. A,T,G and C - The letters of life A = __________________ T = _________________ C = __________________ G = _________________

  6. Fun Fact If you were to start reciting the order of the ATCGs in your DNA tomorrow morning, at a rate of 100 each minute, 57 years would pass before you reached the end…

  7. Base Pairing A = T & C = G

  8. Drawing DNA Complete the DNA strand by drawing in the correct matching nitrogen base, then complete the side of phosphorus and sugar.

  9. Triplet DNA codes in three letter words…… The code within DNA is based on a triplet system…

  10. What is a gene? A human chromosome has thousands of genes Each gene is a recipe for a protein!

  11. Chromosomes

  12. Genome Collection of genetic information within all genes contained in the DNA molecule(s) in a cell.

  13. Fun Fact If the genome was a book, it would be the equivalent of 800 dictionaries. It would take a person typing 60 words per minute, eight hours a day, around 50 years to type the human genome.
