Why does DNA replicate?
Where does DNA replicate?
When does DNA replicate?
Protein Protein SynthesisSynthesis::
The process of The process of producing proteinsproducing proteins
5
Making Proteins!Making Proteins! DNA carries the instructions for producing proteins
Proteins are made of amino acids linked together
20 different amino acids exist
6
Why proteins?!?
• Antibodies, enzymes and hormones
• Hair, nails, muscles, skin
Where do the amino acids come from??
7
Proteins are made by Ribosomes!
8
RNA• RNA: Single strand that carries genetic info from the DNA to the ribosomes!
9
RNA Differs from RNA Differs from DNA:DNA:
1.1. Sugar = RiboseSugar = Ribose
2.2. RNA contains the base Uracil (U)RNA contains the base Uracil (U)
in place of Thymine (T)in place of Thymine (T)
3.3. Single-strandedSingle-stranded

DNA/RNA Building Analogy
• DNA is the official Master plan!• RNA is the cheap, disposable blueprint of the master plan
12
The Base PairsThe Base Pairs
In RNA: A always pairs with U C always pairs with G
13
Types of RNATypes of RNA
• Messenger RNA (mRNA)Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries carries message from DNA to the message from DNA to the ribosomesribosomes
• Transfer RNA (tRNA)Transfer RNA (tRNA) acts like a acts like a tow truck…taking amino acids to tow truck…taking amino acids to the ribosomethe ribosome

.
The Genetic Code Genetic language reads 3 letters at a time
CODON: three consecutive nucleotides that specify a single amino acid.
U C G C A C G G U
is read as
UCG-CAC-GGU
which codes for
Serine-Histidine-Glycine
15There are 64 combinations!
Amino Acid Wheel
Use the code by reading from the center to
the outside
16
Example: AUG codes for Methionine
Name the Amino Acids!
• GGG?• UCA?• CAU?
17
Special Codons
• Some codons are called the “Start Codons” or “Stop Codons”
– These do not code for an amino acid
– They just indicate the beginning and end of a protein!
18
Protein Synthesis1)Transcription2)Translation
19
1) Transcription
Transferring info from DNA to mRNA The DNA strand separates & one strand acts as a template for RNA.
-Using rules of base pairs-Remember U instead of T!
20
2) Translation
• The message in the mRNA is converted into proteins in the ribosome
• The information is being TRANSLATED!
21
During Translation:
1) mRNA goes to ribosome2) Ribosomes read each codon one
at a time3) tRNA brings supplies for amino
acid3) Long chains of amino acids
make proteins!

Mutation: Changes in genetic material
• Like all mistakes, mutations can vary in shape & size!– Some mutations are neutral!– Some mutations are beneficial!– Some mutations are fatal!
29
Mutations can occur naturally or be caused by environmental factors, such as:
-X rays -Drugs-Chemical exposure -UV light
-Tobacco smoke
30
• Point Mutations: Involve changes in one nucleotide and usually don’t cause major problems.
-Substitution of one base
• Frameshift Mutations: When an entire nucleotide is added or deleted, all of the following codons are shifted.– This may change every single amino acid which
would greatly affect the protein
31
Example of Point Mutation
32
Example of Frameshift Mutation
33
• Mutations in sex cells can be passed down to offspring and be good or bad!– Can cause major problems– May become new genetic variation in a species!
