DNA
• Genetic Information• Chromosomes contain all of the information
required to make a complete individual. • Half of an individual’s chromosomes come from their
father and half from their mother, • Each individual is an entirely new combination of
genetic information that,• unless they have an identical twin, has never occurred
before and will never occur again
![Page 4: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
KARYOTYPES• Karyotypes view microscopic
images of chromosomes and arrange them in pairs for analysis.
• Each human has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
• Thus, each normal human has a total of 46 chromosomes.
• Each chromosome pair contains genetic information from both the individual’s father and mother.
• The final pair of chromosomes, the 23rd pair, determines the sex of the individual.• males have one “x” chromosome
and one “y” chromosome,• females have two “x”
chromosomes.

DNA
• Deoxyribonucleic Acid• Long, double stranded, molecule made up of
chemical building blocks called nucleotides• Nucleotides consist of a phosphate, sugar, and
one of four nitrogen bases• Adenine (A) ̶ Cytosine (C)• Guanine (G) ̶ Thymine (T)
• Different combinations of the nitrogen bases make up a person’s unique DNA

DNA
• DNA has the appearance of a ladder that has been twisted. It is called a Double Helix

DNA
• Each molecule of DNA consists of smaller segments called genes.• Genes contain the information to make Proteins• Proteins are large molecules that are made up of
amino acids (building blocks)• Cells convert info from genes into proteins with
the help of RNA
![Page 11: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RNA
• Ribonucleic Acid• Single strand molecule, made up of nucleotides
like DNA except thymine is replaced• Adenine (A) ̶ Cytosine (C)• Guanine (G) ̶ Uracil (U)
• RNA acts as messenger (mRNA) and carries DNA information to other parts of the cell that make proteins
![Page 12: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DNA INTO RNA
• The conversion of DNA into RNA is known as TRANSCRIPTION• Transcription takes place in the nucleus and it
converts DNA into RNA• When DNA is converted to RNA there is a set of
rules that are followed. This rule is known as the Base Pairing Rule
![Page 13: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TRANSCRIPTION
![Page 14: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BASE PAIRING RULE
• Each base in DNA pairs or matches up with a base that will be used to create RNA• After RNA is made it
acts as a messenger and carries code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes
![Page 15: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TRANSCRIPTION
• DNA Double Helix unwinds and allows for base pairs to form RNA• Once the RNA single
strand is formed the DNA is twisted back together and the RNA prepares to leave the Nucleus
![Page 16: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TRANSLATION
• RNA leaves the nucleus to ribosomes where the RNA code is translated into a protein• RNA code is
translated into proteins in groups of three base nucleotides called Codons
• Each codon group corresponds to a specific amino acid• Each Amino Acid has
at least one codon; some more than one• There are codons
that signal to stop the making of proteins

MUTATIONS
• Mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a gene• Three Basic Mutations• Substitution: one nucleotide is changed into a different
nucleotide• Insertion: one or more nucleotides are inserted (added)
into the DNA sequence• Deletion: one or more nucleotides are deleted
(removed) from the DNA sequence
![Page 22: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

DNA CONTROLS THE FUNCTION OF ORGANISMS
• Genes contain DNA sequences that encode for proteins. • The DNA sequence and its corresponding RNA
sequence instruct the cell to build a specific protein. • Each set of three nucleotides in the RNA (and
DNA) corresponds to one amino acid in the protein.• Proteins are responsible for most of the functions
of an organism’s cells.
![Page 24: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MUTATIONS CAUSING CHANGES IN ORGANISMS
• Mutations may or may not lead to changes in an organism. • If the mutation in DNA does not change the amino
acid sequence of the protein, then no change in function of that protein will occur and no change will be seen in the organism. • If the mutation in the organism does cause a
change in amino acid sequence of the protein, then a change in function of the protein is possible and a corresponding change in the organism would be expected.
![Page 25: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

PROTEINS
• Once the RNA has been translated into Amino Acids the Amino form proteins• Wild-Type Protein- a protein that is produced
with no mutations
![Page 27: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

PROTEINS
• Proteins fold in certain ways in order to perform certain functions• Proteins bind or attach to another molecule at a
binding or active site• Binding Sites are formed by neighboring amino
acids that are positioned together to form a pocket into which fits a molecule• Each Amino Acid has a different shape, so when
they come together the pocket the form fits a specific molecule exactly.
![Page 29: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PROTEINS- PRIMARY STRUCTURE
• Primary Structure: This refers simply to the sequence of amino acids in a protein. • This sequence, of course, is dictated by the DNA
sequence of the gene. • This amino acid sequence is sometimes referred
to as a polypeptide chain. • This is because the bonds that hold the amino
acids together in a linear chain are call peptide bonds.
![Page 30: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SECONDARY STRUCTURE
• Secondary Structure: Due to the physical properties of the individual amino acids (remember, there are 20 different amino acids), sections of the polypeptide chain may interact with each other to form local structures. • For example, a stretch of amino acids may
interact with each other to for a spiraling helix. They may also for zigzag structures and flat sheets. Such localized secondary structures may be important for a protein’s function.
![Page 31: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
TERTIARY STRUCTURE• Tertiary Structure: A completed protein may have many
secondary structures and amino acid sequences that attract and interact with each other.
• Consequently, the overall amino acid chain often folds in upon itself in a very specific manner to form a tertiary structure.
• One important result of such tertiary structure is that the folded protein’s three-dimensional structure may form surface areas that recognize and bind to other molecules.
• Such a structure would clearly be important for the protein’s function. Oftentimes, mutations that affect protein function do so because a replaced amino acid, caused by the mutation, does not lead to the formation of functional binding sites on the protein molecule.
![Page 32: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
QUATERNARY STRUCTURE
• Quaternary Structure: Finally, many proteins are actually composed of more than one polypeptide chain. In such cases, two or more different polypeptide chains, each with their own tertiary structure, bind to each other in very specific arrangements. When this happens, the individual polypeptide chains within the final protein molecule are typically referred to as subunits of the protein
![Page 33: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

MUTATIONS IN DNA• Yes. Mutations in DNA can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence
of a protein. • Changes in amino acid sequence can cause changes to protein
structure. Changes in protein structure may cause changes in function.• If a protein cannot function properly, some of the functions of the
organism may be affected because functions of an organism often depend on the functions of the proteins within the organism.
• However, not all mutations cause changes in an organism. Some mutations in DNA do not cause changes in the amino acid sequence of a protein and therefore do not change a protein’s structure or function.
• Some mutations in DNA cause changes in amino acid sequences without changing the structure and function of a protein. Some mutations cause changes in the structure of a protein without affecting the function of a protein.

DNA
• DNA is found in the nucleus of almost all body cells• Inside the Nucleus the DNA is located in special
structures called Chromosomes• Chromosomes- contain many genes
![Page 37: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
CHROMOSOMES
• Each body cell contains two copies of each chromosomes, these copies are called Homologous Chromosomes• Each chromosome in a homologous pair came
from each parent• Homologous chromosomes contain the same
genes but they are not identical, they contain different alleles or versions of the genes
![Page 38: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CELL DIVISION
• Cells in the body divide and produce new Cells in the process called the Cell Cycle• The Cell Cycle is divided into different parts• Interphase• Mitosis• Cytokinesis
![Page 39: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
CELL CYCLE STEP 1: INTERPHASE
• Cell grows larger • DNA is replicated • Each chromosome in a pair is copied• The two identical copies of each chromosome are called
Sister Chromatids• They are attached together by a structure called
centromere• Cells prepares for division
![Page 40: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Centromere
![Page 41: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
CELL CYCLE STEP 2:MITOSIS
• Mitosis is divided into 4 phases• PMAT• Prophase• Metaphase• Anaphase• Telophase
![Page 42: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
MITOSIS PHASE 1:PROPHASE
• Prophase: the nuclear membrane dissolves• Chromosomes
condense into rod-like structures that can be seen with a microscope
![Page 43: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
MITOSIS PHASE 2:METAPHASE
• Metaphase: spindle fibers have formed in the cell• Chromosomes line
up as pairs of duplicated homologous chromosomes in the center of the cell
![Page 44: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
MITOSIS PHASE 3:ANAPHASE
• Anaphase: chromatids separate and move down the spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell
![Page 45: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
MITOSIS PHASE 4:TELOPHASE
• Telophase: chromatids have moved to the ends of the spindle fibers and the spindle fibers disappear• Nuclear membranes
form around each set of chromosomes • Cell is prepared to
divide
![Page 46: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
CELL CYCLE STEP 3: CYTOKINESIS
• Third step in the Cell Cycle is Cytokinesis, cells divide into two separate new cells
Telophase
![Page 47: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

HUMAN BODY CELLS
• Human body contain many cells that scientist classify into two groups• Somatic or Body Cells• Gametes or Sex Cells
![Page 49: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
HUMAN BODY CELLS
• Somatic Body Cells- Cells that make up different parts of the body such as: stomach, skin, muscles, and other organs• Gametes or Sex Cells – cells that make up egg
or sperm cells• Gametes are responsible for passing on Genetic
information from one generation to another• Gametes cells divide through meiosis
![Page 50: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

MUTATIONS IN A SINGLE CELL AFFECT FUNCTION OF THE ORGANISM
• A mutation of the DNA in a gene in a single body cell will get copied when the chromosomes duplicate. • All of the new body cells formed through mitosis
will then have the mutation. If the mutation causes a change in a protein, all cells will produce the mutant protein. • If the cells in an organ are producing mutant
proteins, the organ may not function properly. Thus the organism may not function properly.

ROSALIND FRANKLIN AND MAURICE WILKINS
• In 1951 made a crystal of the DNA molecule.
• DNA crystallized allowing them to make an x-ray pattern
• The pattern appeared to contain rungs, like those on a ladder between to strands that are side by side.
![Page 54: Genes and Proteins](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816726550346895ddbbb16/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
JAMES WATSON AND FRANCIS CRICK
• In 1953 using the X-ray picture from Franklin and Wilkins, made a double helix with little rungs connecting the two strands.
• These rungs were the bases of a nucleotide.
• Using the Base Pairing rule they were able to figure out the stability of the structure
