Discovering DNA

1. For Watson & Crick’s original article, I don’t expect you to get it all. It’s advanced stuff. All I want you to do is find sentences that look like they’re describing something about the structure of DNA that you do recognize - like its shape, or the 6 molecules, or what connects to what. Then copy those sentences to question #1.

2. New York Times article, write a short opinion and back it up with evidence.

DNA Structure Color your pieces if you forgot. Take one pair of scissors and roll of tape for each table. Cut out

each of your DNA nucleotides, and then tape them together into a correct ladder structure. Match up the correct bases!

Tape each of your DNA chains together. Then, find another group and tape your chain onto the end of theirs, etc.

When you finish, help another group to cut and tape, or work on homework.

Pay attention to this structure! I may ask you to draw it on a test. And/or I may give you a sequence of base pairs, and ask you to tell me what the other chain’s sequence would be. (ex: “If one side of the chain is ATTGCTAGGCTA, what is the other side?”)

Homework Discovering DNA packet due Monday. Did you bring any scotch tape to donate

for a sticker?

For Monday: Read p. 524-528, answer #1-5.

Possible CSL opportunity: helping with research on seaweed at Red River Beach. Leave me your phone # if interested, I’ll send it to the researcher.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule of heredity. This means that it is the chemical that transmits things from generation to generation.– DNA is just a chemical, made of atoms bonded to

each other, like any other molecule.

Four of DNA’s 6 chemical parts are nucleic acids. A nucleic acid is another kind of macromolecule, like lipids and carbohydrates.

DNA is a molecule made up of six chemicals: deoxyribose, phosphate, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.– Deoxyribose is a sugar. A, C,

G, and T are nucleic acids. Because of the way that

these six molecules bond to each other, DNA is in a “twisted ladder” or double helix shape.

are needed to see this picture.

Nucleic acids = the “rungs” of the ladder

Deoxyribose & phosphate = the “backbone” of the ladder

Each nucleic acid = bonded to one deoxyribose.

DNA

Nucleic acids = also called “bases” Each of the four nucleic acids (A, C, G, and T)

is bonded to one deoxyribose and one phosphate on one end.– These three molecules bonded together - nucleic

acid, deoxyribose, and phosphate - is called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are what you cut out to make your paper DNA model.

On the other end, a nucleic acid seeks to form a bond with its base pair partner.– A with T, C with G.

DNA Problems

Chargaff’s Rule is the rule that A goes with T and C with G.

If a string of DNA is A-T-G-G along one strand, what will be along the other strand?

Chromosomes DNA doesn’t just float

around in pieces. There’s too much of it to fit into the nucleus unless it’s condensed, and it would be too complicated without organization. So it’s organized into chromosomes.

Chromosome = a very long strand of DNA bunched up and tightly wound around proteins.

Chromosomes

A normal human cell has 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome is up to 1 million base

pairs long. All the DNA in the whole nucleus is called the

genome. If all the chromosomes were strung end-from-end, the human genome would be more than 3 billion base pairs long!

DNA Replication

DNA Replication = DNA copying itself.

When a cell grows too large, it must divide. Everything in the cell must copy itself, including DNA.– Recall from the video that James Watson was

especially excited when they made their first correct model of DNA, because he realized that it also told them how DNA replication works.

DNA Replication

In DNA Replication, DNA “untwists and unzips.” Then, free nucleotides floating around are drawn to their base pair partners, forming new bonds.

Each “daughter cell” winds up with identical DNA.

In each new DNA molecule, one strand is from the old DNA, and one strand is new.
