Chromosomes
• Contain all information for an organism
• Karyotype = arrangement of chromosomes
![Page 4: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
• Chromatin =– DNA – Histone proteins – condenses to
form strands called chromosomes,
– Strands occur just prior and during cell division

DNA
• Double stranded, coiled molecule
![Page 6: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Discovery of Hereditary Material
• Friedrich Miescher (1869)– Isolates “nuclein” from nucleus– was not called DNA until the 1920’s– No notion it contained hereditary material
• Gregor Mendel (late 1800s)– Pioneering work in genetics– Traits are inherited discrete factors
![Page 7: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Discovery of Hereditary Material
• Walter Sutton (early 1900s)– Suggested chromosomes held hereditary factors– No direct evidence for support
• Thomas Hunt Morgan (1910)– Provided experimental evidence to support Sutton– Identified X (sex) hormone– worked with chromosomes of fruit flies and eye
color

Discovery of Hereditary Material
• Phoebus Levene (1920s)
– Two types of nucleic acid in cells, composed of repeating nucleotides
– Both types with nearly identical structures
– DNA & RNA are the 2 types

Nucleotide Structure
• Three different components– Phosphate group– Nitrogen containing
base (A,T,G,C,U)– Five-carbon sugar
(ribose or deoxyribose)

Discovery of Hereditary Material
• Oswald Avery (early 1940s)
– Preliminary evidence for DNA as hereditary material
– Transformed bacteria by transferring DNA
![Page 12: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Discovery of Hereditary Material• Edwin Chargaff (late
1940s)– Proportion of bases
varies in the DNA of different type organisms
– Portions of bases roughly equal, (A=T & C =G)
– Purines = pyrimidines (A + G = C + T)

Discovery of Hereditary Material
• George Beadle & Edward Tatum (1950s)– One-gene-one-enzyme theory– Enzyme production under control of genes
• Alfred Hershey & Martha Chase (1952)– Building of Avery’s work, confirmedconfirmed DNA as
hereditary material

DNA is Self-Replicating
• Before Cells divide
– Enzymes break bonds between bases
– Complementary strands separate
– Complementary bases are added to strands
– Copy of DNA results

Replication Mechanisms
• Replication begins at various points
• Proceeds in both directions
![Page 22: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Replication Mechanisms• DNA molecule separates at its bases
• Forms split, or replication fork
• Each strand acts as a template
![Page 23: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Replication Mechanisms
• Replication proceeds from 5‘ to 3‘ end
![Page 24: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Genes
• One-gene-one-enzyme theory– Production of a given enzyme is under control
of a specific gene– Production of a given peptide is under control
of a single gene (revised statement)
![Page 25: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Gene• The unit of heredity• Is a sequence of nucleotides• Codes for amino acid sequences of
polypeptides or for RNA
![Page 26: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DNA Sequences
• Genome = all genetic information
• Promoters = “start here” part of sequence
• Introns = extra sequences between polypeptide-specifying portions, are not expressed, interrupt most eukaryotic genes
• Exons = portions of a gene that are expressed
![Page 27: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Repeated Sequences
• Repetitive DNA
• 20-50% of eukaryotic DNA
• May play structural roles in chromosomes
![Page 28: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Repeated Sequences
• Telomeres
– At ends of chromosomes
– Shorten as cell replicates
– Cells do not function when telomeres become too short Telomeres in yellow
![Page 29: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mutations • Change can occur in DNA• Point mutation or gene mutation
– Change in genetic message
• Chromosome mutation
![Page 30: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Sources of Mutation• Ionizing radiation
• Ultraviolet radiation
• Some chemicals
• Transposable elements
![Page 31: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Transposable Elements
• “jumping genes”
• Some DNA sequences move from one position to another
• Make up more than 40% of human genome
• First reported by Barbara McClintock
![Page 32: DNA Structure and Replication. Lifespan Gene In The News](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649d195503460f949ee25e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Transposable Elements
• Significance– Contribute to rate of mutation– May cause visible changes
• Example: mottling in corn
