Interesting Facts About DNA

• DNA is used to solve many historical mysteries

• One single cell contains two meters of DNA.

• If you unraveled all your chromosomes from all of your cells and laid out the DNA end to end, the strands would stretch from the Earth to the Moon about 6,000 times.

What is the function (job) of DNA?

Passed down to us from our parents. DNA stores the CODE for directing the

construction of proteins within a cell. These proteins determine the phenotype of an organism.

Recall, DNA is a nucleic acid—A MACROMOLECULE.

DNA Structure

DNA is a double helix (spiral) that resembles a ladder.

DNA is made up of 3 things:

1. Phosphate 2. Deoxyribose (sugar,

yes, sugar) 3. Nitrogenous Bases

Remember

DNA is like an Oreo

Phophates + sugars = cookieBases = cream filling

Page 10: DNA

How is the DNA code read?

There are 4 nitrogenous bases (molecules):

1. Adenine (A)

2. Thymine (T)

3. Cytosine (C)

4. Guanine (G)

DNA bases are complimentary

BASE PAIRING RULE:

__________________________

(A) (T)

DISEASES

Can be caused by 2 things:

1. The environment that surrounds you.

2. Your genes.

Gene Sequence

Section 14-3

Locating GenesHow do scientists locate genes on DNA? Why is this important?

Scientists can locate genes by looking at DNA base sequence. IdentificationOf gene location is important for benefits of medicine and curing diseases.

Examples of Genetic Diseases

• Pg. 345 in Prentice Hall hardcover/online

Page 21: DNA

DNA Technology• Forensic identification is an example of the application of DNA

technology.

• There is great potential for the development of useful products through genetic engineering (e.g., human growth hormone, insulin, and resistant fruits and vegetables).

• Eugenics, a pseudo-science of selective procreation, was a movement throughout the twentieth century, worldwide as well as in Virginia, that demonstrated a misuse of the principles of heredity.

• The Human Genome Project is a collaborative effort to map the

entire gene sequence of organisms. This information will be useful in detection, prevention, and treatment of many genetic diseases.

• PCR, electrophoresis, cloning are also examples.

Chapter Review (DNA)

• What is the function of DNA?

• What does DNA need to be copied (replicated)? What phase of the cell cycle does a cell make more DNA? (G1, S, G2 or M phase)

• How is the DNA code read?

• What are the 4 nitrogenous bases?
