DNA – Deoxyribonucleic Acid

• Nitrogen Based Molecules (4 Letters of DNA Alphabet)

• A pairs up with ____• G pairs up with ____

TC

Cell Cycle

• Stage 1: Interphase: Period before cell division occurs.

–Cell doubles in size

–Copy the DNA in its nucleus

Cell Cycle

• Stage 2: Mitosis

–One copy of the DNA is distributed into each of the two daughter cells

Cell Cycle

• Stage 3: Cytokinesis

–Cytoplasm divides

Cell Cycle Facts

• Some cells divides every 2 hours or less

• Human Liver cells divides every 22 hours

• There are about _____ million cells dividing in your body right now!!

• Most cells divide but human b_____ cells never divide.

• There are about 100 million cells dividing in your body right now!!

• Most cells divide but human brain cells never divide.

Chromosomes

DNA Replication

• DNA looks like a spiral staircase “double helix”

• Two sides of DNA ladder are made up of sugar called deoxyribose and Phosphate

• Adenine always pairs with Thymine

• Cytosine always pairs with Guanine

Cancer

• What is Cancer

Mutation: Damage to the DNA

Cancer

How Cancer Spreads

Treating Cancer

• Surgery: Only effective during early stages

• Radiation: Radiation also destroy healthy cells

• Chemotherapy: Uses of drugs to kill cancer cells. Side effect: Also kills healthy cells.

Cancer Prevention

• 2/3 of all cancer deaths are caused by tobacco use or unhealthful diets

• Smoking is the main cause of lung cancer

Cancer Prevention

• Diet high in fat (fatty meats, fried foods) is harmful

• Diet that includes a lot of fruits, vegetables and grain products can lower some type of cancer.

Differentiation

• As cells differentiate, they become diff_____ from one another.

Stem Cells

• Stem Cells respond to specific needs in the body by becoming a spec____zed ce___

Reflection

• Prompt: Write 3 facts that you learned watching the Brain pop video.
