  1. DNA and Genes

  2. 3.2.2 You should know: • Of evidence for the semi-conservative model for replication of DNA • That a gene occupies a locus on a particular strand of DNA • That genes contain a code as a specific sequence of bases to determine a polypeptide • How DNA is organised for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. • A sequence of three bases (triplet) denotes 1 amino acid • The base sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence in a polypeptide. • Not all DNA codes for polypeptides • How Wales is contributing to the global pool of genomic research.

  7. A gene A gene is a section of DNA which holds the genetic information to instruct a cell how to build one poly peptide chain. Each gene codes for a polypeptide chain which could be an enzyme or part of a larger protein molecule.

  8. A reminder of protein structure. Remember the primary structure is the key to the other levels sph.bu.edu

  9. Genes • One-gene-one-enzyme theory • Production of a given peptide is under control of a single gene

  10. Genes and proteins The nucleus acts as the control centre of a cell because the DNA it contains govern the production of enzymes for the cell and thereby which reactions can take place. Genes work in pairs Genes can exist in different forms called alleles

  11. A locus The position a gene holds on a chromosome is its locus

  12. DNA in cells

  13. Chromosome structure

  14. DNA Double stranded, coiled molecule

  15. The genetic code A triplet of bases codes for one amino acid DNA is used to build up a copy as RNA RNA can leave the nucleus and join with a ribosome The information is interpreted and used to build a polypeptide chain

  16. Introns and exons

  17. multiple repeats- These are DNA sequences that repeat over and over. E.g. CCTTCCTTCCTT. They are found inbetween genes. These areas don’t code for amino acids either.

  18. Alleles Alternative forms of a gene Genes work in pairs If a new allele arises due to a change in BASE sequence it is called a mutation Not all mutations are harmful but sometimes the poly peptide formed cannot fold correctly so has an altered shape and becomes non functional
