Lesson Objectives Describe the coiled structure of chromosomes. Understand that chromosomes are coiled structures made of DNA and proteins. They form after DNA replicates and are the form in which the genetic material goes through cell division. Discover that DNA replication is semi-conservative; half of the parent DNA molecule is conserved in each of the two daughter DNA molecules. Outline discoveries that led to knowledge of DNA’s structure and function. Examine the processes of DNA replication.

CHROMOSOMES Coiled structures made of DNA and proteins Each chromosome is a single DNA molecule When not dividing, chromosomes exists as a grainy material called chromatin
Slide 4-

Eukaryotic cells during the S phase of interphase
Slide 5-

Chromosomes are simpler structures in prokaryotic organisms
Slide 6-

Chromatids and the Centromere After replication  DNA condenses and coils into the familiar X-shaped form of a chromosome Each chromosome consists of two identical copies two copies are called sister chromatids attached to one another at a region called the centromere.

DISCOVER OF DNA STRUCTURE DNA is the genetic material It is an organic molecule For many decades, scientists thought that proteins were the molecules that carry genetic information DNA is actually classified as a nucleic acid and carries the code of life Many scientists contributed to the identification of DNA as the genetic material
Slide 9-

Griffith Searches for the Genetic Material 1920s, Frederick Griffith Studied two different strains of a bacterium R (rough) strain  non-virulent S (smooth) strain  virulent
Slide 10-

Avery’s Team Makes a Major Contribution 1940s, a team of scientists led by Oswald Avery tried to answer the question raised by Griffith’s results
Slide 11-

Hershey and Chase Seal the Deal DNA being the genetic material was not widely accepted at first 1950s, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase did experiments with viruses and bacteria

Chargaff Writes the Rules Also 1950s Erwin Chargaff studied DNA from many different species interested in the four different nitrogen bases of DNA: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) found concentrations of the four bases differed from one species to another BUT..within each species, the concentration of adenine was always about the same as the concentration of thymine; AND the concentrations of guanine and cytosine too
Slide 14-

The Double Helix April 1953…shape of DNA molecule discovered James Watson and Francis Crick DNA a double helix shape, like a spiral staircase Discovery was based on the prior work of Rosalind Franklin and other scientists, who had used X rays to learn more about DNA’s structure
Slide 15-

DNA double helix consists of two polynucleotide chains Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base (A, C, G, or T)
Slide 16-

DNA REPLICATION Occurs during the synthesis (S) phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle begins when an enzyme breaks the bonds between complementary bases in DNA exposes the bases inside the molecule so they can be ‘‘read” by another enzyme and used to build two new DNA strands with complementary bases two daughter molecules that result each contain one strand from the parent molecule and one new strand that is complementary to it result, the two daughter molecules are both identical to the parent molecule

DNA Replication is Semi-Conservative DNA replication of one helix of DNA results in two identical helices original DNA helix is called the "parental" DNA two resulting helices can be called "daughter" helices DNA replication is semi-conservative, meaning that one parent strand is always passed on to the daughter helix of DNA

Lesson Summary Chromosomes are coiled structures made of DNA and proteins. Chromosomes form after DNA replicates; prior to replication, DNA exists as chromatin. Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes, made up of two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. The work of several researchers led to the discovery that DNA is the genetic material. Along the way, Griffith discovered the process of transformation.
Slide 20-

Chargaff's rules state that the amount of A is similar to the amount of T, and the amount of G is similar to the amount of C. Watson and Crick discovered that DNA has a double helix shape, consisting of two polynucleotide chains held together by bonds between complementary bases. DNA replication is semi-conservative: half of the parent DNA molecule is conserved in each of the two daughter DNA molecules.
