ANNOUNCEMENTS

You’re getting a copy of your progress report today.

THEY AREN’T PRETTY!!!

You will fail if you fail your tests and then don’t retake.

We have a lab at the end if we can get through everything today.

TODAY Finish the material from yesterday. Talk about how DNA replicates using RNA Exit ticket

Bad news I couldn’t find the flavored marshmellows, so we aren’t doing the lab today.

HOWEVER!!! WE STILL HAVE OUR LAB TOMORROW!

REPLICATION The act of making an exact copy of the

DNA. During replication DNA strands are as

templates used to make copies of new strands. Here is how it happens:

1. The DNA molecule opens up, separating into two strands.

2. Nucleotides match up and join to the open DNA strands.

3. Two identical DNA molecules are formed.

GUIDED PRACTICE:P1 Turn to Page C137 and C138. Draw the diagram labeled replication at

the bottom of the page. Make sure you label it.

You have 10 minutes. Hint: replication means to “repeat”

GUIDED PRACTICE With a partner, answer the following

question

Describe the differences among DNA, genes and Chromosomes.

How are they related?

Once you are done:Turn to page C137 and C138 and copy the

pictures and label them in your notes. (25 pts)

ANSWERS: Genes are units of heredity that are

located in DNA. DNA-molecules that stores information

(about your genetic make up) Chromosomes- this is the form that DNA

takes when cells divide. (DNA coils up into chromosomes)

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE1. Describe the shape of the DNA

molecule and how the nucleotide bases fit into that structure.

2. What is a protein and what is it made of?

RNA• In order to make proteins DNA needs

help “translating” the genetic code using another molecule.

• RNA carries information from DNA to a ribosome where the amino acids are brought together to form a protein.

• The only difference between RNA and DNA is the sugars that make them. RNA-ribose, DNA-deoxyribose.

TYPES OF RNA There are 3 different types of RNA that

are used to make proteins. Messenger RNA (mRNA) Ribosomal RNA(rRNA) Transfer RNA (tRNA) In prokaryotes- RNA and protein is made

in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes-DNA is copied in the

nucleus, then RNA moves to the cytoplasm, where proteins are made.

TRANSCRIPTION The process of transferring information

from DNA to RNA. The structure is very similar to DNA. They have 4 base pairs just like DNA. The 3 bases that make up DNA are the

same:Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C). The fourth base is different- Uracil (U)

instead of Thymine.

HOW TRANSCRIPTION TAKES PLACE During transcription, DNA is used as a

template to make RNA. DNA opens up along a gene. Nucleotides of RNA match up and join to

open up the DNA strand. The completed RNA strand is released

and moves into the cytoplasm. Only one strand of DNA is transcribed.

So only one new RNA strand is made

TRANSLATION Ribosomes attach to an mRNA molecule

at the beginning of a coding region. Transfer RNA (tRNA) match up and joins

to the mRNA strand. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA

strnd, it attaches one amino acid to another.

tRNA molecule is released after the amino acid has been attached.

Once the ribosome reaches the end of the coding region, a completed chain of amino acids are released.

GUIDED PRACTICE 1. Identify 3 types of RNA involved in

protein synthesis. 2. What might happen if the wrong amino

acid is put on a tRNA molecule?

GUIDED PRACTICE ProteinBased on the video clip answer the

following questions:1. Give 2 examples of protein being used

by the body.2. How can a lack of protein prevent

someone from being able to maintain homeostasis?

3. Do athletes need more protein than others? Why or why not.

4. How does RNA work to help the body to build more proteins.

DOMINANT AND RECESSIVE GENES A dominant gene is the gene that

will be expressed if one of the parents has the trait.

A recessive gene must have two recessive genes in order to be expressed.

LOOK INTO THE FUTURE Next week we will begin using Punnet

Squares. Punnet Squares are used to help

determine dominant and recessive genes.

BACK ON TRACK Today! We are going to be making a 3-D model of a

DNA Molecule.
