NEW SEATING CHARTS!!!

Make two colored model of DNA to show hoe it replicates!!! Have big model prepared and have students act as the free

floating nucleotides to come and build the new molecule..? Have the old molecule in one color and new nucleotides in

anotherMake a visual model

Manipulative ideas: have students make nucleotides Then, have each nucleotide find their matching base pair

Add pictures to the pptMake check Points throughout!!!!!!!ADD more short videos

How is Thrax killed?

DNA Vocabulary Acquisition Reverse Crossword

Make a crossword using the words from the vocabulary.

1. Write the words on the graph paper provided in a crossword fashion.

2. Number each of the words in the order you wrote them and frame the letters in individual boxes. 3. On a separate sheet, write the corresponding

clues for words written across and down and assign each a number.

You can use your vocabulary, notes, and or textbook to find complete the assignment. Due end of period

What do we already know about DNA…

1. Where is DNA found in eukaryotic plant and animal cells? Prokaryotic cells?

2. What is the shape of DNA in eukaryotic cells? In prokaryotic cells? 

3. DNA is what type of organic molecule?4. DNA is made from what subunit or building

block? 5. What is the function of DNA?

DNA Video Clip

What is DNA?

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) The sugar is DeoxyRibose

DNA is a NUCLEIC ACID

Why is DNA important?

DNA is like the blueprint for your body!

It is an extremely long strand of directions for all of the proteins that allow living things to function

Think of DNA as the recipe for making proteins

Where is DNA found?

PROKARYOTES: Found in the cytoplasm

 EUKARYOTES: Found in the nucleus

How SIMILAR are you to the person sitting next to you?

You are 99% identical to the person sitting next to you!!

The only difference it the ORDER of your NITROGEN BASES!

How is DNA STORED in eukaryotes?

The DNA is compacted in the CHROMOSOMES and stored in the nucleus

What is DNA made of (the subunits)?

NUCLEOTIDES!!

What are the main parts of a NUCLEOTIDE?

PhosphateSugarNitrogen Base (A, T, C, G)

Label the parts of a Nucleotide

What are the FOUR NITROGEN BAES?

A = Adenine T =ThymineC =CytosineG = Guanine

What is COMPLIMENTARY BASE PAIRING?

The same bases will ALWAYS pair together!

A pairs with TC pairs with G

ALWAYS!!! (Unless there is a mutation)

TRY IT!

How is a DNA molecule MADE?

Nucleotides come together

Then, HYDROGEN bonds form between the nitrogen bases

This makes TWO strands of nucleotides which twist into a DOUBLE HELIX

What is the SHAPE of DNA?

DOUBLE HELIX It looks like a twisted ladder OR, a spiral staircase

What are HYDROGEN BONDS?

The bonds that form between the nitrogen bases

They are very WEAK and break easily This is how DNA is able to make new copies of itself!

DNA Math

If there are 10 A’s, then there must be 10 T’sIf there are 40 G’s then there must be 40 C’s

So, if there are 30 A’s How many T? How many G? How many C?

DNA Math Example

There are 500 total bases in a specific DNA molecule. Of the 500 bases, 100 are A’s.

How many are T’s?

How many are C’s?

How many are G’s?

Building Our Own DNA Molecule

You will be working in groups of 3 to build a nucleotide

Once your nucleotide is built, your will use the complementary base pairing rules to build a DNA molecule with the class

DNA Molecule Synthesis

Using your experience with the DNA build activity, quietly work with your partner to complete the activity synthesis practice

DNA Replication

What is DNA REPLICATION?

NEW cells are made by copying OLD cells

Before a cell divides, you have to copy or REPLICATE the DNA

REVIEW!What stage of the cell cycle doesDNA Replication happen in?

When does DNA Replication occur?

During S –Phase of INTERPHASE

S-Phase = Synthesis Phase

The DNA Replicates (copies itself ) to prepare for cell division (MITOSIS!!!)

Why does DNA REPLICATE?

To get ready for cell division So each new cell has the same exact DNA!

What are the STEPS for DNA Replication?

1. An Enzyme “UNZIPS” the 2 strands of DNA by breaking the weak Hydrogen bonds

2. New nucleotides are added to the old stand REVIEW: A = T and C = G

3. Another Enzyme “ZIPS” the strands back up4. DNA Polymerase (an enzyme) “proofreads” the

strands to make sure there are no MISTAKES!

What do you think might happen if

there are mistakes?!

What is the ROLE of ENZYMES?

Enzymes help to:1. Split the DNA in half2. Put DNA back together3. Proofread for any mistakes in

the base pairs

How is DNA Replication SEMI-CONSERVATIVE?

When the DNA copies itself, it always has HALF of the parental (OLD) strand and HALF of the daughter (NEW) strand

In other words: the DNA is HALF OLD and HALF NEW

Class Demonstration of DNA Replication

What are MUTATIONS?

Changes in the genetic code (DNA)Can be: positive, negative or neutralCauses: UV radiation, chemicals, bad DNA

proofreading Can lead to CANCER
