with the cell characteristics, and how
they are passed from one generation
to the next.

Gene: it is the unit of heredity.
It is a segment of DNA that
carries, in its nucleotide
sequence, information for
specific biochemical or
physiologic property.
Phenotype: All the heritable physical characters of
the organism (Eye colour in humans, resistance to
antibiotic in bacteria ….. etc.)
Genotype: It means the information in the DNA that
control the phenotype.

Molecules of Genetics
• The main molecules of genetics are called
nucleic acids.
• All the genetic information are stored as a
sequence of bases through nucleic acids
mainly in DNA and in RNA in some RNA
viruses.

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid
serves as organism’s genetic material.
It is divided into functional units
(genes).
Most of DNA is double stranded.
The two strands held together by
hydrogen bonds between A and T or
G and C
It consists of non- identical,
complementary base sequences

The basic structure of DNA molecules is the
Nucleotide
Phosphate
Pentose
Sugar
Nitrogenous
Base

Sugar: It is a cyclic
form of 2-deoxyribose
sugar that forms the
backbone of the DNA.
Phosphate

3. Nitrogenous Bases
-cyclic structure of purine and pyrimidine rings.
There are two major purines, adenine (A) and
guanine (G),
•Three major pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil
(U), and thymine (T).

Sugar back bones are linked to each other by
phosphodiester bonds, i.e., a single phosphate
connected by ester linkage to two sugars; DNA consists
of alternating units of phosphate and 2 deoxy ribose
![Page 14: MICROBIAL GENETICS - Mans...Introduction •Genetics: is the science concerned with the cell characteristics, and how they are passed from one generation to the next.

phosphate connects two
sugars: bonding the 3'
carbon of one sugar and
the 5' carbon of the next
sugar.
DNA is only polymerized
5' to 3' and as
antiparallel
i.e. one strand in the
direction 5' to 3' and
the other strand
polymerized in the
opposite direction.

prokaryotic DNA molecules
are double helix and circular.
This circular double
stranded DNA molecules are
twisted and compacted
through a process called
super coiling "super helicity
this is done naturally by
topoisomerase enzymes

RNA (Ribonucleic acid):
Structurally similar to DNA
except.
Most of RNAs are single stranded.
Sugar is ribose instead of
deoxyribose
Uracil base instead of thymine
base

Functionally different from DNA
Some of RNAs are used as messenger
molecules (mRNA) to transfer information from
DNA to protein
Some of RNA as a part of ribosomes (rRNA ).
Some are adaptor molecules(tRNA)
Few RNA only acts as a genetic material like
DNA (the viruses)

GENOMEIt is the total genetic information in an organism.
Prokaryotic genome (Bacterial):
consist of a single copy
(Haploid) ciruclar DNA
molecule.
Range from 580-4600 Kbp
Many bacteria contain extra chromosomal DNA
materials as apart of genome called plasmid and
transposons.

Eukaryotic genome (e.g Some fungi):
carried on two or more linear chromosomes
separated from the cytoplasm by nuclear membrane.
Diploid eukaryotic cells contain two homologues
copies of each chromosome.
Eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria and
chloroplast .
Some eukaryotes like yeasts contains plasmids.
Eukaryotic genes unlike prokaryotes are interrupted
by introns.

Viral genome :-
unlike others, may be of DNA or RNA.
Capable of survival but no growth in
absence of a host cell
Replication of viral genomes depends on
the metabolic energy and the synthetic
machinery of the host cell.
Most viral genomes range in size from 40-
300 Kbp

DNA Replication
Semi conservative which means that one DNA
molecule gives two DNA molecules each one
consists of one strand from the original DNA and
the other strand is newly formed one.

Replication starts at a
fixed point called origin
of replication (ori C) and
terminated at fixed point
called (Ter) point

Steps of replication 1.The two old strands of DNA are separated by
helicase enzyme to form the replication fork.

2. Replication of one strand template in 5' to 3' direction
can proceed in a continuous fashion starting by
addition of short segment of small RNA at the starting
point called primer.
![Page 29: MICROBIAL GENETICS - Mans...Introduction •Genetics: is the science concerned with the cell characteristics, and how they are passed from one generation to the next.

On this primer, DNA polymerase enzyme start to
synthesize the new strand in a continuous manner
from 5' to 3'; this is called the leading strand.

3.Replication of the other
template strand can only
proceed discontinuously.
This strand is called the
lagging strand, many
primers ( RNA primers)
are used to synthesize
the lagging new strand
as fragments called
Okazaki fragments

4. Then all the RNA
Primers are removed by
DNA polymerase 1
and the gaps are sealed
by DNA ligase to make a
continuous DNA strand.

5. After formation of the
two strands of DNA
the old one and the
new one, DNA gyrase
Enzyme
(Topoisomerase II)
make twist and

The mechanism by which the sequence of
nucleotides in a gene determines the sequence
of amino acids in a protein occurs in the
following steps:
1. Transcription
2. Translation
3. Post –
translational
modification

Transcription :-
the process by which a ssRNA is formed by
RNA- polymerase using DNA as a template, this
RNA is called m RNA.
mRNA has a nucleotide sequence
complementary to the template strand in the DNA.

The sequence of events occurs as follows
Each gene along the DNA is bounded by promoter and
termination sites
1- Promoter recognition
(area at DNA recognized by RNA polymerase before
the gene to be transcribed on which RNA –
polymerase becomes attached).

2- Chain initiation in which recognition protein called
sigma factor (σ) attaches to RNA polymerase to put it at the
correct site of the first nucleotide to be transcribed

3- Chain elongation in which RNA polymerase
synthesizes the whole length of m RNA by
polymerizing the complementary bases in the 5'-3'
direction (note: RNA polymerase does not need
primer to start unlike DNA polymerase).

4- Chain termination,
RNA polymerase continues until a
transcription termination signal or
terminator where the polymerase and
newly synthesized RNA dissociate from
the DNA to end the transcription.
