Presentation Transcript

  1. CBA Review Protein Synthesis (transcription and translation), Genetics, and Evolution

  2. Protein Synthesis

  3. DNA vs. RNA

  4. TRANSCRIPTION! • mRNA… • copies DNA in nucleus • takes copied gene to cytoplasm • Attaches to RIBOSOME (rRNA) • Made up of three letter triplets called CODONS • DNA Strand: • AGG-GAC-TAT-GAT-AGC • Complimentary RNA Strand: • UCC-CUG-AUA-CUA-UCG

  5. TRANSLATION! • tRNA… • Reads the mRNA each CODON at a time • Has the opposite of the codon, called the ANTI-CODON, which matches using base-pairing rules (A-U), (G-C) • Translation happens in the CYTOPLASM within RIBOSOMES.

  6. tRNA ANTI-CODON mRNA CODON

  7. Amino Acids • Monomers of proteins • Every codon codes for an amino acid • DNA Strand: • ATA-CGG-ACC-TAA-GAG • mRNA Strand: • Write on white board • Amino Acid Sequence: • Write on white board

  8. GENETICS! • Gene Regulation • Mendelian Genetics • Principle of Dominance • Monohybrid and dihybrid crosses • Non-Mendelian Genetics • Incomplete Dominance • Codominance • Polygenic Traits • X-Linked Traits • Gene Technology • Recombinant DNA • DNA Fingerprinting • Karyotyping • Pedigrees • Chromosomal Mutations • Meiosis

  9. Gene Regulation • Remember Oxana Malaya, the girl who was raised by dogs • When she was born, she was completely normal, mentally and physically • She now experiences difficulties learning and with language and lives in assisted living. Why?

  10. Gene Regulation • The environment influences gene expression. • Genes: • Expressed = transcription CAN happen • Not expressed = transcription CANNOT happen • Prokaryotes (Bacteria) • LAC Operon – set of genes that make the enzymes that digest lactose • No lactose present: genes NOT expressed (Turned “off”) • Lactose present: genes EXPRESSED (turned “on”

  11. Gene Regulation • Eukaryotes: • Use transcription factors • More complex process than in prokaryotes • Epigenome: the “marker” proteins that turn genes on and off

  12. Mendelian Genetics • Monohybrid Crosses: • Letters on the sides of the Punnett square are GAMETES (Law of Segregation) • Dihybrid Crosses: • RrYy x RrYy • Will always end up with a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio • FOIL to find gametes (Law of Independent Assortment)

  13. Non-Mendelian Genetics • Incomplete Dominance: heterogygotes have “blended” appearance (If RR = Red, and WW = White, then RW = Pink) • Codominance: BOTH traits are expressed equally in heterozygotes (COWdominance: if BB = black cow and WW = white cow, then BW = black and white spotted cow)

  14. Non-Mendelian Genetics (cont.) • X-Linked Traits: • Carried on the X-Chromosome • Females are XX, males are XY, so males CANNOT be heterozygous for X-linked traits • Polygenic Traits: • More than one set of alleles for the trait • You see a bell-curve distribution of phenotypes with these traits • Ex- hair color, height, skin tone, etc

  15. Gene Technology • Recombinant DNA: genes inserted into PLASMIDS of bacteria to “trick” the bacteria into making the proteins that are desired • Ex: Insulin for people with diabetes

  16. Gene Technology • DNA fingerprinting: • Everyone has different DNA fingerprints EXCEPT IDENTICAL TWINS! • Used in paternity tests and crime scenes

  17. Gene Technology • Karyotyping: • Used to detect chromosomal abnormalities • Can be performed while a woman is pregnant to detect abnormalities in the fetus: amniocentesis • NON-DISJUNCTION mutations cause TRISOMIES! Trisomy 21: Down Syndrome Caused by NON-DISJUNCTION mutation

  18. Pedigrees • DARKENED individuals are AFFECTED • If you see half-colored circles or squares, the individual is a CARRIER • Not all carriers are half-colored.

  19. Chromosomal Mutations

  20. Meiosis VS Mitosis

  21. Meiosis VS Mitosis • Meiosis: 2n  1n • Diploid cells to haploid cells • Makes GAMETES (eggs and sperm) • Mitosis: 2n  2n • Diploid cells to diploid cells

  22. Non-Disjunction Mutations • Cause a TRISOMY on a karyotype • Chromosomes don’t separate during meiosis

  23. Evolution • Endosymbiotic Theory • Origin of Complex Molecules • Evidence of Evolution • Fossils • Homologous, Vestigial structures • Embryology • DNA evidence • Mechanisms of Evolution • Natural selection, mutation, migration (gene flow), genetic drift (bottlenecking, founder-effect) • Directional, Disruptive, Stabilizing selection • Convergent vs Divergent Evolution

  24. Endosymbiotic Theory • Mirochondria and Chloroplasts used to be bacteria!

  25. Origin of Complex Molecules • Oparin & Haldane hypothesized that amino acids could form in the early Earth’s environment • Miller & Urey tested it…..and it worked! AMINO ACIDS formed after a week!

  26. Iron-Sulfur World Hypothesis • Discovery of ecosystems based on chemosynthesis in deep hydrothermal vents offered support • Chemosynthesis: making glucose using inorganic molecules instead of sunlight as a catalyst • Catalysts in this instance: Iron (Fe) and Sulfur (S)

  27. RNA World Hypothesis • RNA came before DNA because CATALYTIC RNA is SELF-REPLICATING. • Catalytic RNA needs no proteins to aid in the process of replication, unlike DNA • Catalytic RNA acts like an enzyme, but it is not • RNA = nucleic acid, enzymes = proteins

  28. Fossils • Older fossils are in lower layers • Newer fossils are in top layers • When fossils disappear from one layer to another, the organisms must have gone extinct

  29. Gradualism vs Punctuated Equilibrium Gradualism Punctuated equilibrium

  30. Gradualism • TRANSITION FOSSILS

  31. Punctuated Equilibrium • NO transition fossils

  32. Punctuated Equilibrium

  33. Homologous Structures • Similar because of common ancestry • DIVERGENT EVOLUTION

  34. Analogous Structures • Independent evolution—no common ancestry • CONVERGENT EVOLUTION

  35. Vestigial Structures • Not used in modern species; evidence of ancestry • Ex- leg bones in whales, appendix in humans

  36. Molecular Evidence • More DNA in common = more closely related • DNA similarities = Amino Acid similarities

  37. Embryology • All vertebrates go through similar embryonic stages early in development • Tails become backbones

  38. Adaptive Radiation • Divergent Evolution • An ancestral species diversifies into many different species • Ex- mammals after dinosaur extinction

  39. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium • When no evolution is happening • Random mating • No environmental pressures • Does not exist in real life

  40. Convergent vs Divergent CONVERGENT DIVERGENT UNRELATED species adapt to similar environments Produces ANALOGOUS sturctures RELATED species become more different Produces HOMOLOUS structures
