DNA & Genes CHAPTER 11
Objectives • Analyze the structure of DNA. • Determine how the structure of DNA enables it to reproduce itself accurately.
1952: experimented to show that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material How did they show this? Used bacteriophages (virus that infects bacteria) 1 bacteriophage made of only radioactive protein 1 bacteriophage made of radioactive DNA Only the ones with DNA produced new viruses Hershey & Chase
NITROGEN BASES: • Adenine • Guanine • Thymine • Cytosine PURINES PYRIMIDINES DNA Structure • Polymer of repeating subunits: NUCLEOTIDES • Sugar (deoxyribose) + phosphate + base
1953: James Watson and Francis Crick published their DNA experiment DNA is made of 2 chains of nucleotides held together by nitrogenous bases DNA is shaped like a long zipper that is twisted into a coil like spring shape is called a double helix DNA Structure
Double stranded Alternating sugar/phosphate backbone held together by covalent bonds Bases attach to the sugar Bases are on the interior of the double strand like teeth in a zipper. DNA Structure
Chargaff’s Rule • Purine will always pair with a pyrimidine A T C G * In DNA, the amount of adenine (A) is ALWAYS equal to the amount of thymine, and the amount of guanine is ALWAYS equal to the amount of cytosine The 2 chains of nucleotides in DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. Cytosine forms 3 hydrogen bonds with guanine, and thymine forms 2 hydrogen bonds with adenine
Complementary base paring produces a long, 2 stranded molecule that is often compared to a zipper. The sides of the zipper are formed by the sugar and phosphate units, while the teeth of the zipper are the pairs of bases Sugar-Phosphate Backbone In each chain of nucleotides, the sugar of one is joined to the phosphate group of the next nucleotide by a covalent bond Hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases
DNA Replication Section 11.1
Recall: During interphase, DNA replicates itself. Without DNA replication new cells would only have ½ the DNA of their parents Species could not survive and individuals could not grow or reproduce successfully. Mitosis/Meiosis
Copying DNA • Replication of DNA • Strands of double helix are complimentary • base pairing allows each strand to serve as a template for a new strand • new strand is 1/2 parent template & 1/2 new DNA Animation
Replication: 1st step • Strands are separated DNA • helicase enzyme • unzips part of DNA helix by breaking hydrogen bonds. • stabilized by single-stranded binding proteins helicase single-stranded binding proteins replication fork
Replication: 2nd Step • Each side replicates the other with the help of DNA Polymerase (enzyme used to extend the strand of DNA). • Adding bases • can only add nucleotides to 3 end of a growing DNA strand • strand only grows 53
Replication: 3rd Step • The lagging strand is synthesized discontinously. • Primase, RNA primer, synthesizes a short segments of DNA (Okazaki Fragments) extended by DNA polymerase
Result • Two DNA molecules identical to the original and each other are made
