1. Although the environment
influences how an organism develops,
the genetic information that is
held in the molecules of DNA
ultimately determines an
organism’s traits.

2. DNA achieves its control by determining the structure of proteins.

3. All actions, such as eating, running, and even thinking, depend on proteins
called enzymes.

4. Enzymes are critical for an organism’s function because they control the chemical reactions
needed for life.

5. Within the structure of DNA is the information for life-- the complete
instruction for manufacturing all the proteins for an organism.

6. DNA is capable of holding all
its information because it is a very
long molecule.

7. DNA is a polymer made of repeating subunits called nucleotides.
![Page 9: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
8. Nucleotides have three parts. They are:
1) 5-Carbon sugar (deoxyribose)2) Phosphate group3) Nitrogenous base
![Page 10: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
9. The simple sugar in DNA, called deoxyribose, gives DNA its name—
deoxyribonucleic acid.
![Page 11: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
10. A nitrogenous base is a carbon ring structure that contains one or
more atoms of nitrogen.
![Page 12: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
11. In DNA, there are 4
possible nitrogenous bases. They
are:1)adenine (A)2) guanine (G)3) cytosine (C)4) thymine (T)
![Page 13: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
12.
![Page 14: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
13. Nucleotides join together to form long chains.
![Page 15: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
14. The phosphate groups and deoxyribose molecules from the backbone of the chain, and the
nitrogenous bases stick out like the teeth of a zipper.
![Page 16: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
15. In DNA, the amount of adenine is always equal to the amount of
thymine.16. The amount of guanine is always equal to the amount of
cytosine.
![Page 17: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17. Watson and Crick
proposed that DNA is made of two
chains of nucleotides
held together by nitrogenous
bases.
![Page 18: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18. The nitrogenous bases of the nucleotides hold the two strands of DNA together with weak hydrogen
bonds.
![Page 19: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19. Adenine on one strand
pairs only with thymine on the
other strand.20. Guanine on
one strand pairs only with
cytosine on the other strand.
![Page 20: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
21. These paired bases, called
complementary base pairs, explain why
adenine and thymine are always present in equal amounts and why guanine and cytosine are also
found in equal amounts in DNA.
![Page 21: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
22. Because DNA is composed of two strands twisted together, its shape
is called a double helix.
![Page 22: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
23. The differences between a
cattail, a cat, and a catfish result
from the sequence of the
four different nucleotides
along the DNA strands.
![Page 23: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
24. The sequence of nucleotides forms the unique genetic information of an
organism.
![Page 24: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
25. The closer the relationship is between two organisms, the more
similar their DNA nucleotide sequences will be.
![Page 25: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
26.
![Page 26: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
27. Before a cell can divide by
mitosis or meiosis, it must
first make a copy of its
chromosomes.
![Page 27: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
28. The DNA in the chromosomes is copied in a process called DNA
replication.
![Page 28: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
29. During replication, each strand serves as a pattern, or template, to
make a new DNA molecule.
![Page 29: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
30. Each new strand formed is a complement of one of the original,
or parent, strands.
![Page 30: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
31. The result is the formation of two DNA molecules, each of which is
identical to the original DNA molecule.
![Page 31: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
32. When all of the DNA in the
chromosomes of the cell has been
copied by replication, there are two copies of the organism’s
genetic information.
![Page 32: Chapter 11: DNA and Genes (Part 1)](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013116/568162be550346895dd34ad5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
33. In this way, the genetic makeup of an organism can be passed
on to new cells.
