DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid - stores & passes on genetic info from one generation to the next
Structure of DNA Watson & Crick 1962 developed model of DNA
Structure of DNA Watson & Crick 1962 developed model of DNA - “twisted ladder” (double helix)
Structure of DNA Watson & Crick 1962 developed model of DNA - “twisted ladder” (double helix) - “steps” made from 4 nitrogen bases
Nitrogen Bases of DNA A – adenine
Nitrogen Bases of DNA A – adenine T – thymine
Nitrogen Bases of DNA A – adenine T – thymine G – guanine
Nitrogen Bases of DNA A – adenine T – thymine G – guanine C – cytosine
Nitrogen Bases of DNA A – adenine T – thymine G – guanine C – cytosine
Replication of DNA Duplication of DNA 1. DNA “unzips”
Replication of DNA Duplication of DNA • DNA “unzips” • “free” N bases pair up
Replication of DNA Duplication of DNA • DNA “unzips” • “free” N bases pair up • 2 new DNA molecules form
Chromosomes & DNA Chromosomes
Chromosomes & DNA Chromosomes - rod-shaped structures in nucleus where genes are found
Chromosomes & DNA Chromosome Theory
Chromosomes & DNA Chromosome Theory - genes are carried from parent to offspring on chromosomes (ex. Humans have 23 pairs Fruit flies have 4 pairs)
Chromosomes & DNA Meiosis - production of SEX CELLS with ½ normal # of chromosomes (through two divisions)
Meiosis male
Meiosis female 1 egg 3 Polar Bodies (disintegrate)
Goober Chromosomes (4 pairs) 4 legs 2 eyes 1 tail fur
Goober What would happen if all chromosomes from both parents were combined? What would happen if some of the chromosomes were missing?
Meiosis Why is meiosis needed?
