What is
DNA?
What is a
gene?
Date:
2.4 Genetics 101
1.
What is DNA?
2.
Where is DNA stored?
3.
How does DNA become proteins?
4.
What other information do you know about DNA, genes or chromsomes?
Period:
Students will be able to connect the relationship between DNA, Genes, Proteins and chromosomes and explain how you received your
DNA
2b: Students know sexual reproduction produces offspring that inherit half their gens from each parent
2e: Students know DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of living organisms and is located in the chromosomes of each cell.
Finish Webquest and answer DNA questions at the end of notes:

___________________________: The place where proteins
are made.
• Ribosomes take the RNA from the nucleus and turn
them into proteins
• ___________________________ are the workers of the cell
Example: College: Where students are trained to become
working members of society
• The _________________ stores the cells’ _____________
• ____________________ ________________ of the cell
• The DNA makes you, YOU! DNA controls your
_____________ like ___________ color, ____________, _______
color and ________________________!
• DNA is responsible for all the different ________
__________ on earth! DNA makes you ________________
from your mom, your best friend, and your pet dog!
• Example: Mayor that controls the city
• _________________ stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid
• DNA is a ________________________________ that is stored
in the nucleus.
• DNA is your genetic code that makes up your
____________.
• The _______________ that are in your ________ control
your ____________________ features like ______________,
____________ color, and _____________ shape. ____________
also control your personality like; __________________,
_________________________, and _________________________
• Each cell in single organism has the ____________ DNA
• No body’s DNA is the _____________!
•
•
•
•
DNA is in very long double strands. On each strand there are short pieces called
__________________________________.
Each _________________________ codes (has the directions) for a different protein. The
order of the DNA determines the gene
There are __________________________different genes in each of your cell. This means that
there are __________________________ different proteins

DNA gets converted to RNA because the DNA can’t leave
the ___________________________ and the RNA can.
1 ___________________________ gets copied into 1
______________________ molecule.
The ___________________ then leaves the nucleus through a
pore in the nuclear membrane. (a hole in the wall of the
nucleus)
DNA is double stranded. RNA is single stranded
_____________ (of a gene) swims around the
____________________ and finds a _________________
The __________________ reads the information in the
__________ and makes a ___________________ following
the directions in the _________.
The _______________ are the _____________ of the cell.
The types of proteins in your cell
The ___________________ types of _______________ your
cell make is what makes your cells _______________
___________________________ are the workers of the cell.
Each __________________________ protein has a _______________________________ job in the cell.
There are ______________________ different genes, so there ____________________________
different proteins that do 30,000 different jobs.
The order of the DNA in the gene controls how the protein works!
Proteins do all the work for the cell. The _____________________ proteins from my
_______________ DNA make the my cells ___________________________ from everybody else’s!

Condensed means packed in tight
Each type of animal has a set number of
_____________________. (every organism of the _____
species has the ______ number of chromosomes)
Humans have _______ chromosomes.
Chromosomes are made up of _______________.
______________ are made of _________
Humans have ___________ chromosomes total
Chromosomes are numbered: Chromosome 1, chromosome 2, chromosome 3 all the
way to 23
You have ______ of each _________________.
Humans get ______ chromosomes from their mom’s ___________ (female sex cell)
Humans get ______ chromosomes from their dad’s _____________ (male sex cell)
Babies are made when the 23 chromosomes in the sperm inject into the egg cell. The
23 chromosomes from the sperm join the 23 chromosomes from the egg to make 46
chromosomes for the new baby.
