•Humans share 50%50% of their DNA with bananas.
•Cells can contain 6-96-9 feet of DNA. If all the DNA in your body was put end to end, it would reach to the sun and back over 600 600 times.
•DNA in all humans is 99.9 99.9 percent identical. It is about one tenth of one percent that makes us all unique, or about 3 million nucleotides difference.
•DNA can store 2525 gigabytes of information per inch and is the most efficient storage system known to human. So, humans are better than computers!!
•In an average meal, you eat approximately 55,000,00055,000,000 cells or between 63,000 to 93,00063,000 to 93,000 miles of DNA.
•It would take a person typing 60 words per minute, eight hours a day, around 5050 years to type the human genome.

1. Name the four bases in DNA and describe the structure of DNA using the following terms: Nucleotide (sugar, phosphate, base), Complementary base pairing, Double Helix, and Hydrogen bonding
2. Describe DNA replication with reference to three basic steps: “Unzipping”, Complementary base pairing, and Joining of adjacent nucleotides.
3. Define recombinant DNA
4. Describe three uses for recombinant DNA
5. Compare and contrast the general structural composition of DNA and RNA

DNA is composed of units called NUCLEOTIDESNUCLEOTIDES, which are composed of three sub-molecules:
1. Pentose SugarPentose Sugar (deoxyribose)2. PhosphatePhosphate3. Nitrogen BaseNitrogen Base (purine or pyrimidine)

DNA is composed of two complimentarycomplimentary strands of nucleotides joined by hydrogen bondshydrogen bonds::
Adenine Adenine with Thymine Thymine (A-T or T-A)They join with 22 hydrogen bonds
Cytosine Cytosine with Guanine Guanine (C-G or G-C)They join with 33 hydrogen bonds
DNA twists into a double helix double helix

1. DNA replication is called ‘semi-conservativesemi-conservative’.
2. Semi-conservative replication is the process in which the original strandsoriginal strands of DNA remain intactremain intact and act as templatestemplates for the synthesis of duplicate strands of DNA.

1.1. UNZIPPINGUNZIPPING: The DNA molecule ‘Unzips’ as the hydrogen bondshydrogen bonds between the base pairs are brokenbroken. The enzyme HELICASEHELICASE causes this unzipping to occur.

1) Mutations can occur naturallynaturally or through environmental environmental factors.
Environmental mutagensmutagens include some chemicals chemicals (food additives, pesticides, plastics) and radiationsradiations (X-rays to UV light).

2) A gene mutationgene mutation is a change of one or more nucleotidesnucleotides in a single gene. There are 3 types.
a) Additionb) Deletionc) Substitution
![Page 30: DNA](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b21550346895da3d6dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
GENE MUTATIONS DeletionDeletion: one nucleotide base is left out. All of the amino acids after a deletion will be wrong, so SHAPE and FUNCTION of protein are altered. Serious.
AdditionAddition: one extra nucleotide base is added. This will also change the entire amino acid sequence of the protein, so SHAPE and FUNCTION of protein are altered. Serious.
![Page 31: DNA](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b21550346895da3d6dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

SubstitutionSubstitution: when single bases or short pieces are replaced with one another.
Example: Sickle-Cell Anemia, only one nucleotide base is switched. This causes only 1 amino acid to change, but it is an important one.
This type of mutation is usually not as seriousnot as serious as the 1st two. It just depends on which amino acid is affected (does it have an ‘R’ group with a +,-, or S group?)

3. Chromosomal mutationsChromosomal mutations: a mutation of all all or partor part of a chromosome. These affect many affect many genesgenes.
Example #1: crossing crossing overover where one part of a chromosome changes places with another.
This can cause extra pieces, missing pieces, or the exchange of pieces of chromosomes.

Charlotte has Cri du Chat syndrome.
Cri du Chat Syndrome
("Cry of the cat" in French) is a genetic disorder caused by the loss or misplacement of genetic material from the 5th chromosome.
Cri du Chat causes a varied level of mental handicap. The majority of the children need more specialized education.
It was first identified in 1963 by Professor Lejeune. He described the syndrome after the sound that many of the babies and young children make when crying.

Example #2:
non-disjunctionnon-disjunction = extra chromosomes or missing chromosomes due to mistakes made during meiosis.

Down Syndrome occurs in approx. 1 in 700 births in Canada. A person with Down Syndrome has 47 chromosomes in each cell instead of 46. The chance of having a baby with Down Syndrome increases significantly with age; for example, between 20 and 24 years of age, the chance of conceiving a child with Down syndrome is 1 in 1,450, while at age 45 this probability increases to 1 in 32.

WHAT IS KLINEFELTER SYNDROME? Discovered in 1942 by Dr. Harry Klinefelter. He studied 9 men who had enlarged breasts, sparse facial and body hair, small testes, and an inability to produce sperm.
By the late 1950s, it was discovered that men with Klinefelter syndrome, had an extra sex chromosome, XXY instead of the usual male arrangement, XY.

WHAT IS TURNER’S SYNDROME? A disorder that results from a non-disjunction of the X chromosomes during meiosis = X0 instead of XX. Individuals are short and stocky; also sterile.

Definition: combining the DNA of two species.combining the DNA of two species.
1. Gene displacing: add an extra copy of a gene (cows with huge teats to make double the milk) or deleting genes (removing the rotting hormone from tomatoes).
2. Gene modification: repairing a gene (as in gene
therapy). 3. Gene transformation: inserting genes from a
different species to give a new function (as in making goats
with spider proteins in their milk or making bacteria that
create human insulin).
