Slide 1-

DNA Structure
Slide 2-

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid
Slide 3-

DNA Structure DNA consists of two molecules that are arranged into a ladder-like structure called a Double Helix. A molecule of DNA is made up of millions of tiny subunits called Nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of: Phosphate group Pentose sugar Nitrogenous base
Slide 4-

Nucleotides Phosphate Pentose Sugar Nitrogenous Base
Slide 5-

Nucleotides The phosphate and sugar form the backbone of the DNA molecule, whereas the bases form the “rungs”. There are four types of nitrogenous bases.
Slide 6-

Nucleotides
Slide 7-

Nucleotides Each base will only bond with one other specific base. Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) Form a base pair. Form a base pair.
Slide 8-

Base-Pair Rule Adenine <==> Thymine Guanine <==> Cytosine The sides of the DNA ladder are phosphate & sugar held together by hydrogen bonds
Slide 9-

DNA Structure Because of this complementary base pairing, the order of the bases in one strand determines the order of the bases in the other strand.

DNA Structure To crack the genetic code found in DNA we need to look at the sequence of bases. The bases are arranged in triplets called codons. A G G - C T C - A A G - T C C - T A G T C C - G A G - T T C - A G G - A T C
Slide 13-

DNA Structure A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein. Each unique gene has a unique sequence of bases. This unique sequence of bases will code for the production of a unique protein. It is these proteins and combination of proteins that give us a unique phenotype.
Slide 14-

How the Code Works The combination of A,T,G,C determines what traits you might have, for ex. C A T C A T = purple hair T A C T A C = yellow hair
Slide 15-

Think of the bases of DNA like letters. Letters form words.... Words form sentences.... *endless combinations
