We have in LO.4 Biology G10

First: the Concepts

Modeling DNA structure:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Nucleotide subunits.

nitrogenous bases

sugar–phosphate backbone

Complementary strands

Double helix.

RNA structure


Second: the References

Third: the Videos links



Fourth: Skills

Compare and contrast


Fifth: the materials as PPT., DOCX., and PDF

Few Notes:

DNA Composition

• Deoxyribose Sugar (5-C)

• Phosphate

• Nitrogen Bases:

– Purines

– Pyrimidines


DNA Backbone

• Polymer of sugar-phosphate.

• 2 backbones present.


Nitrogen Bases

• Bridge the backbones together.

• Purine + Pyrimidine = 3 rings.

• Constant distance between the 2 backbones.

• Held together by H-bonds.


Chargaff’s Rule

• Explained by double helix model.

• A = T, 3 ring distance.

• G = C, 3 ring distance.


Replication

• The process of making more DNA from DNA.

• Problem: when cells replicate, the genome must be copied exactly.


Models for DNA Replication

• Conservative - one old strand, one new strand.

• Semiconservative - each strand is 1/2 old, 1/2 new.

• Dispersive - strands are mixtures of old and new.


Meselson – Stahl late 1950’s

• Grew bacteria on two isotopes of N.

• Started on 15N, switched to 14N.

• Looked at weight of DNA after one, then 2 rounds of replication.



Results

• Confirmed the Semiconservative Model of DNA replication.
