DNA Replication a Protein Synthesis By: Caitlyn Metros and Jonathan Torres
Structures of DNA • DNA is a double helix. • Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA • The Bases of DNA are: • Adenine=Guanine • Thymine=Cytosine
Who Discovered DNA • Rosalind Franklin was the first person to actually see DNA. She used the technology known as X-ray Crystallography. • However, Watson and Crick received credit for the findings.
Steps of Protein Synthesis • DNA--------->RNA--------->Protein (Transcription) (Translation) Transcription rewrites the DNA code as messenger RNA.
Steps of DNA Replication • An enzyme breaks the hydrogen bond between the pair nitrogen bases. • This allows DNA to “UNZIP” as the two strands move apart.
