7DNA Replication: Making Identical copies of DNA

DNA Replication

• DNA Replication occurs in eukaryotes in the nucleus of the cell.

• It occurs before cell division to provide each daughter cell with a full copy of DNA.

9

The Steps of DNA Replication

1) Helicase “unzips” the DNA.

2) Complementary nucleotides match up with bases of “parent DNA”.

3) DNA Polymerase builds the new strands (A bonds to T, C bonds to G).

4) Two identical strands are formed.

What is the complementary strand

And these proteins make….Your Traits!

Some more review….

A protein is like a strand of pearls

Amino acids connected together by peptide bonds

Serine Lysine Arginine

16

SO how do we go from DNA to …well…you???

DNA RNA Protein

?Transcription Translation

17

What is RNA?

A Nucleic Acid

It helps make

proteins

Nucleotides

Ribonucleic Acid

Just like DNA…its cousin!!

P-S-B

18

SO then what is RNA like???

The sugar is Ribose

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

The sugar is Deoxyribose

Deoxyribose Ribose

19

Single stranded

DNA

2 Strands= Double Helix

20

There is no Thymine

Instead it has Uracil for its base

Soo…..

G goes with C

A goes with U

21

22

Where is RNA located?

1st in the nucleus

2nd in the cytoplasm at

the Ribosome

23

There are three types of RNA

24

Messenger RNA (mRNA)- Carries the message from

DNA to the ribosome

25

Every three bases on an

mRNA is called a Codon!!

26

An amino acid

Transfer RNA (tRNA)- Brings amino acid to Ribosome

Three bases on

tRNA

27

rRNA= Ribosome

Factory in which protein is made

28

How is RNA made?

29

Transcription

…..this is when we make RNA

Happens in the nucleus

It’s copying the message

from DNA

30

1. DNA Unzips

2. RNA nucleotides match up

3. RNA goes to ribosome4. DNA zips back up

Transcription

What is the strand of RNA if this DNA is

transcribed?

To read/to turn from one language to another

I’m glad that you smile.

35

Transcription copies the message from DNA into RNA

Now its time to….

Read the message

Translate it!

36

TRANSLATION

Happens in the

Ribosome!

Making a protein

should be made

1.mRNA hooks into Ribosome

2.tRNA brings Amino Acids to Ribosome

3.tRNA anticodon matches up with mRNA codon

4.Peptide bond forms between amino acids

5.Now we have a protein!
