Discovery of Nucleic Acid
1.1869: Friedrich Miescher discovered nuclein– Noticed that nuclein
had a lot of phosphate
2. He found nuclein in every type of cell he studied.

Griffith’s Experiment
1. 1928: Frederick Griffith a. Showed that bacteria could be transformed b. transformation: process in which bacteria can take up the genes of another bacteria and express those genes

Avery’s ExperimentSlide # 5
Avery showed that DNA is the transforming agent!
Oswald Avery continued Griffith’s experiment!

Hershey and Chase Experiment1. 1952: Hershey & Chase used radioactive markers on viruses a. showed that virus only injects nucleic acid into bacteria b. bacteria take up nucleic acid and can express the new genes c. demonstrated that DNA is the genetic material of the cell

Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine
Phosphate group
Deoxyribose
Go to Section:
Components of DNA
Nucleotide has 3 parts: 1. A phosphate group 2. A sugar (called deoxyribose) 3. Nitrogen base (4 different
bases)– Adenine “A”– Thymine “T”– Cytosine “C”– Guanine “G”
Slide # 7
DNA is made up small, repeating units (monomers) called nucleotides.

1.1940’s: Erwin Chargaff discovered that the % of base “A” was almost equal to the % of base “T” & the percent of base “C” was nearly equal to the % of base “G”– didn’t know why
2.Also discovered that composition of DNA (% of A, T, C, & G) varies from species to species
3.Both discoveries gave support that DNA carries the genetic code!

Rosalind Franklin: The Famous Picture Taker
1.1952: Rosalind Franklin: an expert in x-ray crystallography.
2.She took the x-ray picture of DNA -- shows DNA is a double helix.
3.1958: Franklin died (37 years old)

James Watson & Francis Crick: Puzzle Solvers
1.1953: Discovered the structure of DNA2.Described DNA as a double helix (twisted
ladder)• Sides of ladder are made up of sugar &
phosphate groups• Steps of ladder are made up of nitrogen
base pairs (A-T & C-G)-- Applied Chargaff’s rules
• Base pairs (steps) are held together by weak hydrogen bonds
• Sequence (order) of nitrogen bases determines the genetic instructions / “genetic code” of organism.

DRILL #12Quote: Whatever you are, be a good one!
Abraham LincolnAgenda: Homework check
DNA structure cont.Cell Division notes
Warm-up:1. Which of the following best describes cellular respiration?
a. External breathingb. Breakdown of sugar to release energy in cellsc. Movement of water from outside the cell to inside the cell.d. Removal of water from a cell
2. Describe the structure and components of a DNA nucleotide.

Knowing the Structure Tells how DNA Replicates
1.DNA Replication: makes 2 identical DNA strands by copying the original model
2.Each new strand contains one old (parent) strand & one new (daughter) strand
3.DNA replication occurs during cell division – inside the nucleus
Slide # 12
Parent strand: grayDaughter strand: red

Steps in DNA Replication1.DNA unwinds (DNA Helicase)2.DNA polymerase breaks hydrogen bonds
that hold nitrogen bases together3.DNA ligase hydrogen bond new nitrogen
bases onto DNA parent strand• Chargaff’s rules applied: A-T & C-G• Nucleotides added in 5’ to 3’ direction
4.Sugar-phosphate groups bond to nitrogen bases to complete daughter strand
5.Result: 2 identical DNA strands each contains 1 parent strand & 1 daughter strand

Steps in DNA ReplicationParent strand
Daughter strand
Slide # 14
Strands are antiparallel

When Does Replication Occur?
1. The cell replicates (makes a copy) its DNA right before cell division.2. When two new cells are produced in cell division, each new cell needs its own copy of the DNA (identical copy!)3. After DNA replication, the cell will divide in half (cell division) and give each new cell a copy of the DNA

Chromosomes1.Fertilized human egg cell has 46
chromosomes• 23 chromosomes in egg cell• 23 chromosomes in sperm cell• Humans have 46 chromosomes
in each body cell.2. Each cell has millions of base pairs
storing our genetic code.3. After DNA Replication, each cell has
92 “sister chromatids”• After mitosis, each cell ends up
with 46 chromosomes
Karyotype of Human
chromosomes

Chromosomes: More than Just DNA
1.Chromosome: coiled DNA & protein “spacers” called histones.
2.Histones keep the chromosome from getting tangled.
