  1. Standard Biology Ch. 28 DNA- Life’s Code 28.1 The DNA Molecule

  2. DNA • DNA is the chemical that makes up your genes. • Genes make up your chromosomes. • Genes determine your traits. • Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of cells.

  3. DNA Structure • DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid • All living things have DNA • Built like a ladder

  4. DNA Structure • Sides are alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate • Rungs are nitrogen bases (4 types) • A= adenine • T= thymine • C= cytosine • G= guanine • Base pairing rules: A goes with T and C goes with G

  5. Seven Features of DNA • DNA has 2 sides like the up right part of a ladder • Sides are made of sugar and phosphate • There are parts that connect the sides of the ladder (like “rungs”) • The “rungs” are the nitrogen bases • The four nitrogen bases are A, T, C, and G • A goes with T and C goes with G • DNA is a twisted ladder called a double helix

  6. DNA and Chromosomes • DNA is in every cell of your body and is the same in every cell • Your DNA is different from every other person’s DNA (except identical twins) • DNA is located in the nucleus and makes up genes and chromosomes

  7. Proof that DNA Controls Traits

  8. Proof that DNA Controls Traits • Transformation • DNA from the harmful dead bacteria got into the harmless live bacteria and made the harmless bacteria able to cause pneumonia and kill the mice (Fig. 28-4 p. 590)

  9. How DNA Works • Works like a computer- reads a signal then transfers to a type of protein • DNA is a base code (3 base code) of nitrogen bases

  10. How DNA Works • Normal red blood cells: GAGTGAGGCTTC CTCACTCCGAAG • Sickle cell disease red blood cells: GAGTGAGGCTAC CTCACTCCGATG • Slightly different order of base pairs and codes for a different protein giving a different trait

  11. Making Proteins • DNA directs the making of proteins in a cell • DNA stays in the nucleus and proteins are made in the cytoplasm at ribosomes

  12. DNA to RNA to Protein • Two step process: transcription and translation • Transcription (rewrite): RNA is made from DNA; occurs in the nucleus • Translation (change language): protein is made from RNA code; occurs in the cytoplasm at the ribosome

  13. Making Proteins • RNA is the helper molecule for DNA to make protein • RNA acts like a messenger and carries the code from the DNA to the ribosome

  14. Making Proteins • Each 3 nitrogen bases is a codon (Like a word) • Each codon has meaning as an amino acid

  15. Making Proteins • There are 20 different amino acids, the order of the amino acids gives us all our different

  16. How DNA Copies Itself • DNA needs to be copied before cell division can take place (both mitosis and meiosis) Fig. 28-8 p. 594)

  17. How DNA Copies Itself • DNA untwists • DNA unzips • Loose nitrogen bases with a sugar and phosphate fill in on open middle section following base pairing rules (A=T and C=G) • 2 new DNA are formed that are exactly alike REPLICATION

  18. How DNA Copies Itself

  19. Standard Biology Ch. 28 DNA- Life’s Code 28.2 How the Genetic Message Changes

  20. Mutations • Change in copying the DNA message • Wrong T, C, A, or G then get the wrong protein made and a different trait • Sickle cell disease- change of T to A • Hemophilia- mutation in sex cell of mother

  21. Mutations • Causes of mutations • Copying mistakes • Radiation- X rays and sun’s UV • Chemicals- tobacco, benzene, asbestos and others

  22. Cloning • Have same exact genes and DNA

  23. Identical twins: egg 1 + sperm 1 fertilized egg 1 baby baby Fraternal twins: egg 1 + sperm 1 egg 2 + sperm 2 fertilized egg 1 fertilized egg 2 baby baby Twins

  24. Steps Needed to Clone a Frog • Light frog A- egg cell with nucleus removed • Dark frog B- nucleus from cell of intestine • Add together- get genetic clone of the dark frog (Fig. 28-12 p. 599)

  25. Plant and Animal Breeding • Getting the traits we want

  26. Plant and Animal Breeding • Breeding- bringing together 2 living things to produce offspring (plants and animals) • Most crops and livestock today are produced by selective breeding

  27. Splicing Genes and Gene Therapy • Splice means to insert • Splicing genes mean to add or insert one gene from one organism into another organism

  28. Splicing Genes and Gene Therapy

  29. Splicing Genes and Gene Therapy • Gene therapy is the adding of a healthy gene into a person suffering from a genetic disorder • Cystic fibrosis • Hemophilia

  30. Splicing Genes and Gene Therapy • Recombinant DNA is formed when DNA from one organism is inserted into another organism

  31. Splicing Genes and Gene Therapy • Today use recombinant DNA to produce many vitamins, adhesives, and drugs

  32. Splicing Genes and Gene Therapy • Insulin- human gene for insulin added to bacteria so that the bacteria produce human insulin for people with diabetes Insulin Production for Persons with Diabetes
