Nature vs. Nurture?
DNA
We know traits are inherited but how are
they inherited?

X-ray EvidenceX-ray Evidence
• 1952 Rosalind Franklin took an x-ray diffraction to take picture of DNA shape
• Picture gave clues to structure of DNA
Watson & CrickWatson & Crick
• Watson & Watson & Crick made a Crick made a model of DNA model of DNA structurestructure
• Won Nobel Won Nobel PrizePrize
Watson and Crick’s model of DNA was a double helix

Nucleotides are monomers!Nucleotides are monomers!
• Nucleotides are Nucleotides are linked in a strandlinked in a strand
• The sides of the The sides of the ““ladderladder”” are are phosphates and the phosphates and the sugar sugar deoxyribosedeoxyribose
- Sugar & phosphate form backbone- The bases form the “steps” of ladder, held together by Hydrogen bonds
• C-G = 3 hydrogen bonds• A-T = 2 hydrogen bonds
How is DNA Packaged? How is DNA Packaged? • DNA DNA is wrapped around proteins is wrapped around proteins called called histoneshistones forming beads forming beads• These beads pack together, forming These beads pack together, forming nucleosomesnucleosomes. . •These coil to make These coil to make chromatinchromatin•When the chromatin (stringy DNA) coils it make a When the chromatin (stringy DNA) coils it make a chromosomechromosome
DNA ReplicationDNA Replication

• Each original side Each original side is a is a Template Template
Parent StrandOr Template

Before a cell divides, it duplicates its Before a cell divides, it duplicates its DNA in a process called DNA in a process called replicationreplication. .
•This makes sure each cell will have a This makes sure each cell will have a complete set of DNAcomplete set of DNA

Central Dogma
• DNA RNA Protein
• DNA gives the instructions for RNA which gives the instructions to make proteins
Central Dogma
What is a gene? • Part of the DNA
(letters/bases) that code for a particular protein
Genotype vs. Phenotype
• Genotype, genetic makeup, is the sequence of bases in the DNA
• Phenotype, traits, due to proteins
Proteins we learned! Structural •Keratin ( hair, skin and nails )•Muscles Reactions •Enzymes (lactase)Signal •Insulin, human growth hormone Hemoglobin- carriers oxygen in your red blood cells
RNA vs DNA
• RNA• Ribonucleic Acid • Ribose Sugar• A,C,G,U
– U = Uracil • Single Stranded
Transcription1. RNA copies the
message from DNA - Called messenger RNA ( mRNA)
2. Complementary base pair ( NO T!! In RNA)
3. Only copies a gene of the DNA
4. mRNA Leaves the Nucleus
Transcription • Enzyme that build RNA
strand • RNA polymerase
RNA Splicing Introns stay in the nucleus Exons join (splice) together and exit – final mRNA
Translation mRNA to Protein 1. mRNA goes to the Ribosome
– Each 3 letters of the mRNA is called a codon
2. Each mRNA codon bonds to a tRNA (transfer RNA) anticodon
– Complementary Base paring rules
3. tRNA carries the amino acid which builds the polypeptide (protein) 4. Begins with mRNA start codon AUG and ends with mRNA STOP Codon

Mutations
http://www.dnalc.org/resources/3d/17-sickle-cell.html
1 base change in 438-base sequence. Change in DNA, change in RNA, change in Amino Acid Hemoglobin protein does not work properly to carry oxygen.

Cracking the Code:17:00-20:00
Inherited genetic mutation •Mutation in a gene that codes for an enzyme protein that breaks down fatty acids in the brain
Mutation
• Change in the nucleotide Sequence ( letters/bases) of a gene
1.Base Substitution (can be bad or silent) 2. Base Addition/ Deletion- worse
- Frameshift mutation= alter group of 3
Affects the function of the PROTEIN
ADDITION
• THE CAT ATE THE RAT• THE ACA TAT ETH ERA T
Mutagens cause Mutations
• Xray, UV light, smoking chemicals, pesticides
• Sometimes GOOD? How so?
