“Rungs of ladder” Nitrogenous Base (A,T,G or C) “Legs of ladder” Phosphate & Sugar Backbone DNA Double Helix
For Thursday: A HISTORY OF DNA • Discovery of the DNA double helix A.Rosalind Franklin- X-ray photo of DNA. (1952) B.Watson and Crick- described the DNA molecule from Franklin’s X-ray. (1953)
A or G T or C Nitrogenous Bases • PURINES 1. Adenine (A) 2. Guanine (G) • PYRIMIDINES 3. Thymine (T) 4. Cytosine (C)
C T A G • Adeninemust pair with Thymine • Guanine must pair with Cytosine • Their amounts in a given DNA molecule will be about the same. The car goes in the garage! The apple grows on the tree!
Apples Grow on Trees Adenine to Thymine
Cars go in Garages Cytosine to Guanine

The differently shaped bases are bonded together antiparallel to one another (5’3’) DNA ladder will twist into a double helix shape
Important to Remember: All living things have DNA! Scientists refer to this as a “common genetic code”The sequence of bases matters! The order determines the organism.
