DNA Scientists
Who tried to find the genetic material but failed? Instead he
found TRANSFORMATION.
This scientist injected mice with heat killed disease bacteria and live good bacteria and the mice died of pneumonia.
Griffith“F” for failing to find genetic material!
F for finding:
TRANSFORMATIONHe found that good bacteria are changed into bad bacteria with transfer of some “factor.”
Who actually found DNA is the “factor” that caused good bacteria
to change into bad bacteria?
AveryRemember: Avery got an “A” for finding DNA; the factor that causes transformation
Who used X-rays to determine what DNA really looked like?
Hint: This scientist died from too much radiation
Rosalind Franklin
You may see this picture on the SOL!
Who discovered the shape of the DNA molecule and was awarded
the Nobel Prize?
Watson & Crick
Who used radioactive bacteriophages (viruses) to confirm the genetic
material being transferred was DNA?
Bacteriophage(Virus)
Bacteria Cell
Capsid (protein coat of virus)
Hershey & ChaseBacteriophages chase after bacteria to inject their DNA for infection and
replication.

Who found: % of Adenine = % Thymine
% Cytosine = % Guanine
What is this rule called?

A, T, C, G
Which ones are purines? Which are pyrimidines?
A, T, C, G
Hint: You “Pee Urine” (purine) in an outhouse attached to the main house
Out-houseHouse Hint: Cystine and Thymine have “y” in their names like Pyrimidine

What is DNA’s function?
DNA carries the genetic code to make proteins from amino acids
Sugar’s Name?
What is the name of the sugar that is in DNA (nucleotide)?
Deoxyribose
What is the name of the sugar that is in DNA (nucleotide)?
What is the difference between the DNA in
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?
What is the difference between the DNA in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?
DNA in a Prokaryote is a long loop found in the cytoplasm
DNA in a Eukaryote are individual chromosomes
in the nucleus
What are the specific structures that carry the
genetic code found in the nucleus?
Chromosomes

Why is DNA Replication important?
Must have 2 identical strands of DNA
Cell Division!
List the steps of DNA replication:
List the steps of DNA replication:
1. Enzyme (Helicase) unzips DNA to open up2. DNA Polymerase (enzyme) attaches to the DNA and adds
complimentary bases (A,T,C,G) to make new sides of DNA3. Two identical strands of DNA are created for cell division (S phase)

Strawberry DNA Extraction Lab
Why did we use…
1. Soap? Breaks down lipid cell and nuclear membranes
2. Salt? Neutralizes + and - charges3. Meat tenderizer? Breaks down the
protein (Histones) wrapped around DNA
4. Cold alcohol? Precipitates out DNA
RNA
Hint:RNA loves
“U”

Name the 3 different types of RNA and function of each
mRNA- messenger RNA - brings genetic code for proteins out of DNA to ribosome (like a recipe)
tRNA – transfer RNA - brings amino acids to ribosomes (like a sous chef bringing ingredients to chef)
rRNA – ribosomal RNA- (ribosome) makes the protein (like the chef)

List the steps to make mRNA
What is this process called?
List the steps to make mRNA“TRANSCRIPTION”
1. In the nucleus, DNA unzips
2. RNA Polymerase binds to DNA at promoter region
3. RNA Polymerase reads DNA’s nitrogen bases and makes and edits mRNA
4. mRNA goes out of nucleus through pores
When RNA Polymerase is editing the mRNA during transcription, •What is kept in the mRNA?•What is edited (cut) out?
Bad – get rid of it!
Good - keep!
List the steps to make Protein from mRNA
What is this process called?
List the steps to make protein “TRANSLATION” (comes LATer)
1. In the cytoplasm, rRNA attaches to mRNA
2. rRNA reads mRNA beginning at the AUG “START codon”
3. Each tRNA brings 1 amino acid to ribosome that has an anti-codon to mRNA codon until it reads a “STOP” codon
4. Amino acids join to form polypeptide chain =
PROTEIN

What is the 3 base code on the mRNA called?
What is the 3 base code on
the tRNA called?
Anti-codon
What is the 3 base code on the tRNA called?
How many amino acids are there?
How many different codons code for those amino acids?
How many amino acids are there? 20
How many different codons code for those amino acids? 64
Remember: Each tRNA only brings 1 amino acid to the ribosome
1 codon = 1 amino acid3 nitrogen bases = 1 codon
