Review DNA and RNA
1) DNA and RNA are important organic
compounds found in cells, called nucleic
acids
2) Both DNA and RNA molecules contain the
following chemical elements: carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus

What is DNA???
DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid
IT is a molecule that contains the code for
an organism’s growth and function
![Page 3: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DNA molecule - shape of a twisted ladder:
Interior: sequence of nitrogen bases and
Exterior: molecules of sugar phosphate
The sugar
present in the
Dna is called
Deoxyribose
Phosphate:
PO4
![Page 4: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Nitrogen Bases come in pairs
Here is how they match:

DNA REPLICATION:
The DNA replication is the process during
which the molecule of DNA copies itself,
generating two new identical molecules.
Replication happens before cell division,
because when the cell splits in two, each
new copy of the original DNA will go to
one of the new cells.
![Page 6: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DNA replication:
1)Molecules unwind and separate
2) new nitrogen bases present in the nucleus
join the original ones
3) two new identical DNA molecules are formed
![Page 7: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
**Different forms of DNA:
DNA comes in the form of Chromatin, in
the nucleus
Before cell
division,
the chromatin will
condense forming
chromosomes.
Chromosomes will
replicate before
cell division
![Page 8: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What are genes?
Genes are sections of DNA that
code for a certain trait.
Locus is the location of a gene in a
chromosome
![Page 9: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
*Genes have different forms called alleles
Each allele code for a variation of the trait.
Ex:
There is a gene for eye color
The gene for eye color has alleles for brown,
blue, green eyes, etc.
(the alleles are
located in the same locus)
![Page 10: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
**Chromosomes are sequences of genes
After replication the chromosome has two sister
chromatids that are identical
![Page 11: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell.
23 come from one parent and 23 from the
other parent
The chromosomes are organized in 23 pairs
![Page 12: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
*Chromosomes in the same pair are called
Homologous
*Homologous chromosomes have the same
sequence of genes, but can have
different alleles
![Page 13: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
*Homologous chromosomes have the
same sequence of genes, but might
have different alleles
One comes from the father
One comes from the mother

The 2nd type of Nucleic Acid: RNA
RNA stands for Ribonucleic Acid
-RNA has a different sugar on
the backbone called ribose
-It is not a double strand molecule
-It does not have Thymine as one of
the nitrogen bases
![Page 15: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RNA
▶ RNA is made using the DNA as a model,
just as proteins
▶ The sequence of nitrogen bases in the
RNA depends on the sequence of
nitrogen bases in the Dna, just like for
the proteins
![Page 16: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

How are DNA, RNA and Proteins
related?
The main concept of Molecular Biology states
that DNA makes RNA and RNA makes
proteins .
The process by which DNA is copied to RNA is
called transcription.
The process by which RNA is used to produce
proteins is called translation.
![Page 18: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Functions of RNA – a cell has 3 types of
RNA
1) Messenger RNA – The DNA molecule is copied in the
nucleus generating a messenger RNA molecule
(transcription process)
The messenger RNA takes the DNA code from the
nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for the
synthesis of proteins
![Page 20: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Functions of RNA – a cell has 3 types of
RNA
2) Ribosomes are made of Ribosomal RNA – ribosomes is
the cell organelle where the RNAs meet to synthetize
proteins.
![Page 21: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Functions of RNA – a cell has 3 types of
RNA
3) Transfer RNA – is the RNA that brings to the
ribosomes all the amino acids that will form the
protein.
Sets of 3 nitrogen bases in the transfer RNA will code
for one amino acid.
The sequence of nitrogen bases in the RNA transfer,
matches the sequence of nitrogen bases in the RNA
messenger
![Page 22: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Proteins is a type of organic compound
responsible for function (enzymes) and
structure (structural proteins) in organisms
![Page 23: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
**Important about proteins
▶ Proteins are made in the ribosomes, located in
the cytoplasm of the cell
▶ Proteins are made based on the sequence of
Nitrogen Bases in the DNA
▶ A different order of Nitrogen bases will make a
different protein
** Proteins are made with the help of the RNA,
that will take the DNA code from the nucleus
to the cytoplasm
![Page 24: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Steps of Translation – protein synthesis
1) RNA messenger is synthetized in the nucleus ( transcription)
2) RNA messenger leaves the nucleus of the cell and goes to the cytoplasm,
carrying the code for the synthesis of a certain protein
3) RNA messenger enters in the ribosome
4) The RNA transfer will also enter in the ribosome, bringing the amino
acids that match the sequence of nitrogen bases in the messenger RNA
5) The two types of RNA combine and the amino acids attach to each other
forming the protein, which is a chain of amino acids.
See the picture on page 172 to understand better this process.

Translation – protein synthesis
Takes code from
the nucleus to the
cytoplasm for the
synthesis of proteins
Trp, Ala, Ser,
Glu, Tyr are
different
amino acids
that will form
the protein
![Page 26: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
From the nucleus to the cytoplasm: protein synthesis
(polypeptide is a small protein)
![Page 27: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Remember:
▶ Cell Differentiation:
Cells have different functions
Different cells will synthetize different
proteins to execute that cell’s function
▶ Cells will only produce the proteins
needed by the cell.
▶ A cell will not waste energy producing
something that is not needed.

Mutations are when the sequence
of the nitrogen bases in the DNA
changes, this happens due to
mistakes during replication,
exposure to radiation and certain
chemical substances
![Page 29: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mutations - important information
1) Mutations can be bad, good or neutral.
1) Mutations are important when they result in a trait that
will help the organisms of the species survive
1) When mutations occur in the sex cells or gametes,and
they are helpful, they tend to become part of the
species’ genotype.
1) By being part of the genotype, this mutation will pass
from one individual of the species to another,
increasing the variability of genes in the gene pool of
this species.
![Page 30: Review DNA and RNA061851f72b23d802adaa-d56582058559818728a814bdd94ad99a.r54.cf2… · Review DNA and RNA 1) DNA and RNA are important organic compounds found in cells, called nucleic](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030811/5b1bc33d7f8b9a2d258edfc5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Trait Variability due to Mutations
▶Gene A codes for trait A
▶Gene A suffers a mutation and turns
into Gene B
▶Gene B will not code for trait A, but
for a different trait
▶This will generate variability in the
population
