History
• Frederick Griffith (1928) – experimented with pneumonia – ability to cause disease was inherited by the transformed bacteria’s offspring, the transforming factor might be a gene
• Oswald Avery (et al.) (1944) – nucleic acid DNA stores and transmits the genetic information from one generation of an organism to the next (genes are composed of DNA)
![Page 2: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Cont.
• Hershey-Chase (1952) – genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA, not protein
• Watson-Crick – develop the double-helix model of the structure of DNA
• Gilbert-Maxam-Sanger (1977)-develop methods to read the DNA sequence
• Human Genome Project (2000) – sequence all human DNA
![Page 3: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Function of DNA
• 1. genes have to carry information from one generation to the next
• 2. put information to work by determining the heritable characteristic of organisms
• 3. genes have to be easily copied
![Page 4: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Components
• DNA – long molecule made up of units celled nucleotides
• Nucleotides:– 5-carbon sugar– Phosphate group– Nitrogenous base
![Page 5: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Cont.
• Purines:
• Adenine and guanine
• Pyrimidines:
• Cytosine and thymine
• Form chains in A=T and G=C (Chargaff’s rules)
• Base pairing – hydrogen bonds form between certain bases
![Page 6: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cont.
• Chromatin – DNA and a protein (histones) called nucleosomes
• Nucleosomes can fold DNA into tiny space
![Page 7: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Replication
• Each strand of DNA in the double helix has the exact information needed to copy itself
• 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
![Page 8: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cont.
• Replication – duplicates its DNA (replication forks)
• Enzymes “unzip” by breaking the hydrogen bond
• DNA polymerase is the enzyme used in replication and “proofreads” the DNA to maximize the perfect copy of DNA
![Page 10: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
RNA and Protein Synthesis
• RNA –long chain of nucleotides of sugar, phosphate and base
• Differences:– Ribose (sugar)– Generally single-stranded– Contains uracil in place of thymine
![Page 11: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cont.
• Three main types of RNA: mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA
• mRNA: carry copies of instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins; serve as a “messenger” for DNA to rest of the cell
• rRNA: proteins are assembled on ribosomes
![Page 12: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cont.
• tRNA: transfers each amino acid to the ribosome as it is specified by coded messages in mRNA
• Transcription: RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strand, RNA polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA
![Page 13: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cont.
• RNA polymerase enzyme will only bind to DNA regions where promoters are present, which have specific base sequences
• Introns are not involved in coding proteins, exons are the DNA sequences that code for proteins and are “expressed” in the synthesis of proteins
![Page 14: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cont.
• Introns are removed from the final RNA molecule and the exons are spliced together to from the mRNA
• Proteins form from long chains of amino acids called polypeptides – containing and or all of the 20 different amino acids
• mRNA’s “language” of instructions is called the genetic code
![Page 15: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cont.
• Bases on RNA – A, U, C, G read 3 letters at a time, each coded “word” is called a codon and will represent a specific amino acid or stop codons
• Translation - decoding or reading of codons takes place in ribosomes, and uses information from mRNA to produce proteins
![Page 16: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Steps in RNA
• 1. mRNA transcribes from DNA in nucleus and released into cytoplasm
• 2. mRNA in cytoplasm attaches to ribosome and each codon of mRNA moves through the ribosome and specific amino acid is transferred to polypeptide chain ---tRNA has 3 unpaired bases called anticodon
![Page 17: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mutations
• Mutations – mistakes (harmful/beneficial)
• Changes in genetic material
• Point mutation happens at a single point in a base and includes: substitution, deletion, and insertion and are called frame shift mutations
• Causes can be dramatic as code has “shifted” from that point on
![Page 18: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cont
• Chromosomal mutations
• Deletion – loss of all or part of chromosome
• Duplication – extra copy is produced
• Inversion – reverses the direction of parts of chromosomes
• Translocation – chromosome breaks off and attached to another
![Page 19: Dna](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503393b4c905de2d8b5043/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cont.
• Harmful – cause many genetic diseases (Down Syndrome, Turner’s syndrome, Fragile X syndrome and cancers)
• Beneficial – large crops, allows for variations in species

Regulation
• Operon – group of genes that operate together
• Eukaryotic genes are controlled individually and have regulatory sequences that are complex
• Differentiation – specialized structure and function
• Hox genes – control cells and tissues
