There are four kinds of bases in DNA:
• adenine• guanine • cytosine• thymine

NUCLEIC ACIDS•Nucleotide - monomer;
- phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar and nitrogenous base•Nucleotides covalently bind to form a nucleic acid•Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information
4 Types of nucleotides (A-T/U-C-G) = endless # of different molecules2 Types of Nucleic Acids = DNA and RNA

DNA makes up chromosomes!
![Page 8: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DNA and Chromosomes
• DNA and Chromosomes• In prokaryotic cells, DNA is located in the cytoplasm.• Most prokaryotes have a single DNA molecule
containing nearly all of the cell’s genetic information.
![Page 9: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

DNA and Chromosomes
• Many eukaryotes have 1000 times the amount of DNA as prokaryotes.
• Eukaryotic DNA is located in the cell nucleus inside chromosomes.
• The number of chromosomes varies widely from one species to the next.
![Page 11: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DNA and Chromosomes• Chromosome Structure
– Eukaryotic chromosomes contain DNA and protein, tightly packed together to form chromatin.
– Chromatin consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins called histones.
– DNA and histone molecules form nucleosomes. – Nucleosomes pack together, forming a thick fiber.

DNA Replication
• Each strand of DNA has all the information needed to reconstruct the other half
• Strands are complementary and can be used to make the other strand

DNA Replication
• During DNA replication– The DNA molecule separates into two strands.– Produces two new complementary strands
following the rules of base pairing.– Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a
template for the new strand.

DNA Replication
1. Enzymes unzips DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds. Strands separate at the replication fork.

DNA Replication2. New complementary nucleotides are added to
make a new strand3. The enzyme DNA polymerase attaches
nucleotides to produce new strands. DNA polymerase proofreads each strand.

Semiconservative Replication
Prior to cell division, DNA replicates itself by semiconservative replication
![Page 19: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of PROTEINS.
Genetic messages can be decoded by copying part of the nucleotide sequence from DNA
into RNA.
RNA contains coded information for making proteins.

RNA• Types:
– Messenger RNA (mRNA) – messenger from DNA to the rest of the cell
– Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – make up ribosomes
– Transfer RNA (tRNA) – transfer amino acids to the ribosomes
![Page 23: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Transcription
• The process of making RNA by copying part of the DNA sequence into a complementary RNA sequence
![Page 24: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Transcription
• Requires enzyme RNA polymerase
1. RNA Polymerase binds to DNA and separates strands
2. RNA Polymerase uses DNA as template and assembles complementary RNA strands

RNA Editing
• RNA Editing– The DNA of eukaryotic genes contains sequences
of nucleotides, called introns, that are not involved in coding for proteins.
– The DNA sequences that code for proteins are called exons.
– When RNA molecules are formed, introns and exons are copied from DNA.
![Page 28: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RNA Editing
• The introns are cut out of RNA molecules.
• The exons are the spliced together to form mRNA.

Protein Review• Proteins are made by joining
– AMINO ACIDS• Each protein contains a combination of the 20
amino acids• The function of the protein is determined by
number and sequence of amino acids• (A polypeptide is a protein!)
Protein 1
Protein 2

Genetic Code• The genetic code is the “language” of mRNA instructions.• A codon consists of three consecutive nucleotides on
mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.
Each codon specifies a particular amino acid that is to be placed on the polypeptide chain.

Translation
• Translation is the decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein).
• Translation takes place on ribosomes.
• During translation, the cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.
![Page 33: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Translation
1. Messenger RNA is transcribed in the nucleus, and then enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome.
![Page 34: DNA & GENETICS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815aa5550346895dc838a6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Translation2. The ribosome “reads” the mRNA codon and
the corresponding amino acid is brought to the ribosome by the tRNA
codon

Translation3. The ribosome forms bonds between the
amino acids to form the proteinBond formed

Translation 4. Translation
continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA and releases the protein (polypeptide)
