8-1 DNA
1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria in
mice; only one of them caused disease Disease strain had smooth colonies; the
harmless strain had rough colonies When injected with the disease strain, mice
got sick and died; w/ the harmless strain, mice stayed healthy

Griffith cont
Next Griffith heat-killed the disease strain and injected it into mice; the mice stayed healthy
Next he mixed the heat-killed strain with the harmless strain and injected mice; mice developed pneumonia and died
Killed bacteria passed on a GENE to the harmless bacteria which then developed the disease causing capability

DNA
1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase proved the importance of the chemical nature of DNA
Conducted experiments using bacterial viruses
Proved that the viral DNA was the part that caused disease

8-2 Chargaff’s Rules
Erwin Chargaff discovered the percentages of nucleotides in DNA
Amounts of guanine = amounts of cytosine Amounts of adenine = amounts of thymine
![Page 11: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rosalind Franklin
1950s used X-ray diffraction to study DNA X-ray created scattered patterns as a
result of the reflection of the X-rays
![Page 12: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Francis Crick and James Watson
1953 developed the double helix model of DNA
Used the X-ray diffraction patterns from Franklin’s studies to help determine the structure
![Page 13: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

12-2 Structure and Function of DNA
The components of DNA are deoxyribose , a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
Nitrogen base- an organic ring structure that contains one or more atoms of nitrogen.
![Page 15: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DNA Molecule
![Page 16: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Four Possible Nitrogen Bases
Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) This allows for four nucleotides, each
containing one of these four bases These base pairs match as follows: (A) with (T) & (G) with (C)
![Page 17: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Chains of Nucleotides
Nucleotides do not exist as individual molecules, they combine to form long chains to produce one molecule
The two chains are held by hydrogen bonds between the bases
This structure resembles a ladder The shape of DNA is known as a double
helix because it looks like a twisted ladder
![Page 18: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Importance of Nucleotide Sequence
The genetic material of living things is made of DNA, they are different because of the order of the nucleotides in the DNA strands of the organism
The sequence of nucleotides forms the unique genetic information of an organism
The more closely related the more alike the DNA strands are
![Page 19: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
8-3 Replication of DNA
DNA replicates because every time a cell divides, it must make a copy of its chromosomes, so each cell can have a complete set
Without replication, species could not survive and individuals could not successfully grow and reproduce
![Page 20: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How DNA Replicates
During replication, each strand serves as a pattern to make a new DNA molecule
It begins as an enzyme breaks the hydrogen bond between nitrogen bases that hold the two strands together
The action “unzips” the DNA molecule As the DNA unzips, free nucleotides from
the surroundings in the nucleus, bond to the single strands by base pairing
![Page 21: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DNA Replication Cont.
Another enzyme bonds these new nucleotides into a chain
This process continues until the entire molecule has been unzipped and replicated
As a result a new strand is formed that is a complement of one of the original, or parent strand
The result is the formation of two DNA molecules, each identical to the original DNA molecule
![Page 22: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

8-4 DNA to Protein
Genetic Code: The sequence of nitrogen base along one of the two strands for the synthesis of proteins
There are 20 different amino acids. But DNA only contains 4 bases.
A single base can’t represent a single amino acid because that system would code for only 4 different amino acids
A sequence of 3 bases provides more than 20 combinations needed to code for all amino acids
![Page 24: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Codon: each set of 3 nitrogen bases representing an amino acid
The DNA code is often called a triplet code 64 combinations are possible when a
sequence of three bases is used, 64 different codons are in the genetic code
The order of nitrogen bases in DNA will determine the order of the amino acids in a protein
![Page 25: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Codon cont.
For any one codon there can only be one amino acid
The code is said to be universal because the codons represent the same amino acids in all organisms
![Page 26: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Transcription-from DNA to RNA RNA structure:
RNA is a nucleic acidDiffers from DNA structure in 3 ways:
1. RNA is usually composed of a single strand rather than a double strand
2. RNA also contains a different type of sugar molecule, ribose instead of deoxyribose
3. RNA also contains four nitrogen bases, but rather than thymine RNA contains Uracil (U)
![Page 27: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Making RNA Transcription:
Transcription: the process by which enzymes make an RNA copy of a DNA strand
This process is similar to DNA replication except the main difference is that the process results in the formation of a single-stranded RNA molecule
This RNA copy carries information from the DNA out into the cytoplasm of the cell
![Page 28: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RNA by Transcription This is called messenger RNA (mRNA) mRNA carries the information for making a
protein chain Some portions of DNA code for the RNA
that makes up ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized
This type of RNA is called ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
rRNA helps to produce enzymes needed to bond amino acids together during protein synthesis
![Page 29: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

8-5 Translation –RNA to Protein Translation: the process of converting
information in a sequence of nitrogen bases in mRNA into a sequence if amino acids that make up protein
This occurs on ribosomes, and involves a third kind of RNA
Transfer RNA (tRNA): brings amino acids to the ribosomes so they can be assembled into proteins
![Page 31: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Translating the mRNA code: Correct translation of the code depends
upon the joining of each mRNA codon with the anticodons of the proper tRNA molecules
The end result of translation is the formation of the large variety of proteins that make up the structure of organisms and help them function
![Page 32: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

8-7 Genetic Changes
Mutation – A Change in DNA Mutation – any mistake or change in the
DNA sequence Point Mutation – a change in a single base
pair in DNA (EX) The dog chased the car. Changing a single letter in this sentence
changes the entire meaning, a change in a single nitrogen base can change the entire structure of the protein.

Mutations cont.
Frameshift mutation: a mutation when a single base is added or deleted from DNA
EX: a mRNA strand has a new amino acid added to the protein for every codon on the mRNA strand; now a single base is deleted from that strand; this new sequence is now translated into mRNA, but it is out of position by one base; this causes every codon to be out of position by one base; this would cause every amino acid to be changed
![Page 36: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Chromosomal Mutations Mutation affecting gene distribution to
gametes during meiosis, most commonly by deletions, insertions, inversions, or translocations
Some ways they are described as mutating include: parts of the chromosomes are broken off or lost during mitosis or meiosis, chromosomes break and then rejoin incorrectly, or the parts join backwards or even to the wrong chromosome
![Page 38: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Effects of chromosomal mutation Occur in living organisms, but they are
especially common in plants Affect the distribution of genes to gametes
during meiosis Gametes that should have a complete set
of genes may end up with extra copies of some genes or a complete lack of certain genes
Few chromosomes mutations are passed on to the next generation because the zygote usually dies
![Page 39: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Types of chromosomal mutation Deletions: occur when part of a
chromosome is left out Insertions: occur when a part of a
chromatid breaks off and attaches to its sister chromatid. The result of genes on the same chromosome.
Inversions: occur when part of a chromosome breaks out and is reinserted backwards
Translocation: occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and is added to a different chromosome
![Page 40: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
![Page 41: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Errors in Disjunction
Many chromosomal mutations result from the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis
Nondisjunction: the failure of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis
![Page 42: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
In one form of nondisjunction, 2 kinds of gametes result:
Trisomy: the presence of an extra chromosome
Triploidy: involves a total lack of separation of homologous chromosomes (this condition is rare in animals, but frequent in plants)
Monosomy: absence of a chromosome (these usually do not survive)
![Page 43: Chapter 8 DNA: The Molecule of Heredity. 8-1 DNA 1928 Frederick Griffith: How does bacteria cause pneumonia? Isolated two strains of pneumonia bacteria](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e905503460f94b953e8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Causes of Mutation Spontaneous mutation: mutations that
occur at random Environmental agents also cause
mutations, such as exposure to x-rays, ultraviolet light, radioactive substances, or certain chemicals
Mutations often result in sterility or the lack of normal development in an organism
In human gametes mutations may cause birth defects or in body cells it may cause cancer
