WHAT IS DNA? DNA stands for: DeoxyiriboNucleic Acid Code that stores a cell’s hereditary
materialContains info for cell’s growth and function
DNA is copied during passed on to daughter cells during cell division

STRUCTURE OF DNA 1952: Scientist Rosalind Franklin
discovers the Double HelixTwo chains of molecules in a spiral formSimilar to a twisted ladder
Referred to as “Twisted Ladder” Each side of the ladder is made up of
sugar-phosphate molecules Each molecule consists of the sugar
called dioxyribose and a phosphate group

STRUCTURE OF DNA The “rods” of the ladder are made up of
other molecules called nitrogen bases Nitrogen bases occur in pairs
Adenine (A)- Thymine (T)Guanine (G) – Cytosine (C)
How does DNA replicate?

Ladder “un-zips” Each side becomes a pattern for the
new DNA strand to build off of New DNA has bases that are identical to
the original DNA

GENES DNA contains “instructions” for making
the proteins that determine a person’s characteristics
Gene – section of DNA on a chromosome where the instructions are found
Proteins are composed of amino acids Genes determines the order of the amino
acids Each cell of your body only uses a portion
of the thousands of genes in your DNA
Where are genes found?

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS Made in the ribosomes of a cell RNA – RiboNucleic Acid
code for making proteins

RNA Structure is similar to ½ of a ladder Ribose - sugar phosphate molecule in
RNA RNA nitrogen bases occur in pairs
Adenine (A) - Uracil (U)Guanine (G) -Cytosine (C)

TYPES OF RNA
Type Description
Messenger(mRNA)
- Begins protein Synthesis- Provides code that directs sequences for amino acids
Ribosomal(rRNA)
- What Ribosomes are composed of
Transfer(tRNA)
- Serves as the “link” between mRNA and amino acids sequence of
proteins

MUTATIONS Mutation: any permanent change in
the DNA Sequence Occurs when DNA is not copied exactly Examples: extra chromosome, missing a
chromosome X-rays, sunlight, and some chemicals
can also cause mutations

RESULT OF A MUTATION May or may not be life threatening If mutation occurs in a sex cell, then all
cells that form from that cell will also be mutated
Mutations add variety to speciesSome mutation are harmful, some are
beneficial
What disease is a result of a mutation?
