Order! Order!
Genes are made of DNA, a large, complex molecule. DNA is
composed of individual units called nucleotides. Three of these
units form a code. The order, or sequence, of a code and the type
of code determine the meaning of the message.
1. On a sheet of paper, write the word cats. List the letters or units
that make up the word cats.
2. Try rearranging the units to form other words. Remember that
each new word can have only three units. Write each word on
your paper, and then add a definition for each word.
3. Did any of the codes you formed have the same meaning?
4. How do you think changing the order of the nucleotides in the
DNA codon changes the codon’s message?

1928-British scientist, F. Griffith, was studying two strains
of bacteria that were associated with pneumonia
-one strain caused pneumonia (smooth)
-other strain was harmless (rough)
Initial experiment
a. inject mice with smooth strain-death
b. inject mice with rough strain-live
c. Inject mice with heat-killed smooth strain-live
Go to
Section:
Section 12-1
Second experiment
mixed heat-killed, disease-causing bacteria with the
live harmless bacteria-death
- when he pulled fluids from the dead mice’s lungs
he found living smooth bacteria.
Griffith’s hypothesis:
transformation-process in which one strain of
bacteria is changed by a gene or genes from
another strain of bacteria

1944-O. Avery repeated Griffith’s work to determine which
molecule in the heat-killed bacteria was most
important for transformation
Initial experiment-destroyed the proteins,
lipids, carbohydrates, and RNA of the heat-killed
bacteria with enzymes-transformation still takes place
when added to harmless bacteria
Second experiment-used enzymes to break
down the molecule DNA and then added to this to the
harmless bacteria-no transformation
Conclusion: DNA stores and transmits genetic
information from generation to generation.

1952-Hershey and Chase designed an experiment to
verify that genes were made of DNA using
bacteriophages (viruses that attaches to bacteria,
injects its DNA into the bacteria, and causes the
bacteria to produce more viruses)
Grew virus cultures in radioactive isotopes that
would mark either the protein coat or DNA.
Hershey and Chase concluded that the genetic
material of the bacteriophage was DNA

A Perfect Copy
When a cell divides, each daughter cell receives
a complete set of chromosomes. This means
that each new cell has a complete set of the
DNA code. Before a cell can divide, the DNA
must be copied so that there are two sets ready
to be distributed to the new cells.

1. On a sheet of paper, draw a curving or zig-zagging line
that divides the paper into two halves. Vary the bends in
the line as you draw it. Without tracing, copy the line on a
second sheet of paper.
2. Hold the papers side by side, and compare the lines. Do
they look the same?
3. Now, stack the papers, one on top of the other, and hold
the papers up to the light. Are the lines the same?
4. How could you use the original paper to draw exact copies
of the line without tracing it?

PROKARYOTES
Prokaryotic cells lack nuclei and membrane-bound
organelles. Their DNA is located in the cytoplasm
usually as a single circular DNA molecule that
contains nearly all of the cell’s genetic information.
This is the prokaryotic cell’s chromosome.

EUKARYOTES
Eukaryotic cells can have up to 1000 times more DNA
DNA is generally found in nucleus in the form of a number
of chromosomes
ex. Diploid human cells=46 chromosomes
Go to
Section:
Section 12-2
DNA Length
The relative length of DNA is very long. The chromosome
of bacteria, E. coli, is 1.6 mm. This is 1000 times
longer than the bacteria itself.
Chromosome Structure
The DNA in a Eukaryotic cell is packed even tighter. The
nucleus of a human cell contains more than a meter
of DNA!

DNA is tightly coiled around a protein called histones to form
a substance called chromatin. Each histone molecule along
with the DNA that is coiled around it is called a nucleosome.
Nucleosomes enable cells to fold enormous lengths of DNA
into the cell’s nucleus.

DNA Replication
Before a cell divides it duplicates its DNA in a copying
process called replication. The DNA molecule
separates into two strands, and then forms two new
complementary strands following the base pair rules
Replication forks are the separation of the two strands of
DNA that allow replication. These forks are created
by an enzyme that “unzips” the DNA molecule.
Another enzyme called DNA polymerase joins
individual nucleotides to the two strands producing
two identical DNA molecules.

Information, Please
DNA contains the information that a cell needs to carry out all of its
functions. In a way, DNA is like the cell’s encyclopedia. Suppose that
you go to the library to do research for a science project. You find the
information in an encyclopedia. You go to the desk to sign out the
book, but the librarian informs you that this book is for reference only
and may not be taken out.
1. Why do you think the library holds some books for reference
only?
2. If you can’t borrow a book, how can you take home the
information in it?
3. All of the parts of a cell are controlled by the information in DNA,
yet DNA does not leave the nucleus. How do you think the
information in DNA might get from the nucleus to the rest of the
cell?

RNA and Protein Synthesis
Genes-sequence of DNA that codes for production of a
protein thus determines a trait
This segment of DNA is copied into RNA and transferred
outside of the nucleus to the site of protein synthesis.
Structure of RNA
RNA consists of a long chain of nucleotides, similar to DNA;
however there are 3 main differences:
1. Ribose instead of Deoxyribose
2. RNA is generally single stranded
3. Uracil instead of Thymine
Go to
Section:
Section 12-3
Types of RNA
The main function of RNA is to control the assembly
of amino acids into proteins- protein synthesis
3 Types of RNA:
1. messenger RNA(mRNA)-carries instructions
from the DNA to the rest of the cell
2. ribosomal RNA(rRNA)-helps make up
ribosomes along with several proteins
3. transfer RNA(tRNA)- transfers each amino acid
to the ribosome as coded by mRNA
Go to
Section:
Section 12-3
Transcription
This is when an RNA molecule is produced by
copying part of the DNA strand into a
complementary sequence of RNA. It is
accomplished by an enzyme (RNA polymerase)
binding to and separating the DNA strands. RNA
polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as
template to assemble the sequence of RNA.

The Genetic Code
Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids
called polypeptides. The order in which these
amino acids are assembled is determined by the
order of the nucleotides on the strand of mRNA.
During translation , the code is read three
nucleotides at a time. This is known as a codon.

Determining the Sequence of a Gene
DNA contains the code of instructions for cells.
Sometimes, an error occurs when the code is
copied. Such errors are called mutations.
Go to
Section:
Section 12-4
1. Copy the following information about Protein X: Methionine—
Phenylalanine—Tryptophan—Asparagine—Isoleucine—STOP.
2. Use Figure 12–17 on page 303 in your textbook to determine one
possible sequence of RNA to code for this information. Write this code
below the description of Protein X. Below this, write the DNA code that
would produce this RNA sequence.
3. Now, cause a mutation in the gene sequence that you just determined
by deleting the fourth base in the DNA sequence. Write this new
sequence.
4. Write the new RNA sequence that would be produced. Below that,
write the amino acid sequence that would result from this mutation in
your gene. Call this Protein Y.
5. Did this single deletion cause much change in your protein? Explain
your answer.

1. Why do you think the library holds some books for reference only?
Possible answers: The books are too valuable to risk loss or damage to
them. The library wants to make sure the information is always available
and not tied up by one person.
2. If you can’t borrow a book, how can you take home the information in it?
Students may suggest making a photocopy or taking notes.
3. All of the parts of a cell are controlled by the information in DNA, yet DNA
does not leave the nucleus. How do you think the information in DNA might
get from the nucleus to the rest of the cell?
Students will likely say that the cell has some way to copy the information
without damaging the DNA.

1. Do you think that cells produce all the proteins for which the DNA (genes)
code? Why or why not? How do the proteins made affect the type and
function of cells?
Cells do not make all of the proteins for which they have genes (DNA).
The structure and function of each cell are determined by the types of
proteins present.
2. Consider what you now know about genes and protein synthesis. What
might be some ways that a cell has control over the proteins it produces?
There must be certain types of compounds that are involved in determining
what types of mRNA transcripts are made and when this mRNA translates
at the ribosome.
3. What type(s) of organic compounds are most likely the ones that help to
regulate protein synthesis? Justify your answer.
The type of compound responsible is probably a protein, specifically
enzymes, because these catalyze the chemical reactions
that take place.
