Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA • Deoxyribonucleic Acid • D – Deoxyribo • N – Nucleic • A – Acid

  2. All Images- Clip Art

  3. DNA Structure • Nucleotide • The monomer of DNA • Basic unit • Consists of 3 parts

  4. Nucleotide- Part 1 (p197) • 5 carbon sugar • Deoxyribose

  5. Nucleotide- Part 2 (p197) • Phosphate group

  6. Nucleotide- Part 3 (p197) • Nitrogenous bases- 4 different (p 198) • Purines • adenine (A) • guanine (G)

  7. Nucleotide- Part 3 (p197) • Nitrogenous bases- 4 different (p 198) • Pyrimidines • thymine (T) • cytosine (C)

  8. Model Pentagon = sugar Circle = phosphate group Square = nitrogen base Nucleotide

  9. Shape of DNA (p199) • Double helix • 2 spirals wrapped around each other

  10. “Uprights”- 5 carbon sugar & phosphate “Rungs”- Nitrogenous base pairs Base pairs held together by hydrogen bonds A with T C with G P * D - C ~ G- D * * P P * * D - T ~ A- D * * P P * * D- T ~ A - D * * P P * * D - A ~ T- D * * P P * * D - C ~ G- D * * P P * * D - G ~ C- D * P Ladder Model of DNA (p199)

  11. DNA Replication (p 201) • Process in which DNA makes exact copies of itself in the nucleus.

  12. DNA Replication (p 201) • DNA molecule “unzips” where the hydrogen bonds hold the base pairs together in the rungs of the ladder. • Helicases- enzymes that break hydrogen bonds

  13. New nucleotides attach, one by one, to the appropriate exposed bases of the DNA strands DNA polymerases- enzymes that add the bases to original strand P * D - C ~ G- D * * P P * * D - T ~ A- D * * P P * D - T * P * D - A * P * D - C * P * D - G DNA Replication (p 201)

  14. DNA Replication (p 201) • The result is 2 DNA molecules from 1

  15. DNA Replication (p 201) • Each molecule is identical to each other and the original.

  16. DNA Replication (p 201) • Semi-conservative Replication • Each newly formed DNA molecule is made up of one strand from the original and one strand that is new.
