• Mendel (heredity)• Thomas Hunt Morgan (flies, linkage)• Griffith (1928) transformation and mice

• Avery and colleagues (1944): – proposed DNA as the transforming agent

• Chargaff (late 40’s-early 50’s) – base pairing (AT CG)

• Hershey-Chase (1952) DNA IS hereditary material

• Watson and Crick (1953) (Franklin) chemical structure of DNA

• Meselson-Stahl mid 1950’s – DNA Replication details

Chargaff’s Rule

• Purines (A, G, double rings) always pair with Pyrimidines (T, C, single rings)

• A-T, C-G (& in RNA? ____)• Old AP test question: if in a cell the

DNA bases are 17% A’s then what are the %’s of the other bases?

DNA Replication:

SEMICONSERVATIVE MODEL

How did they (Meselson-Stahl) prove this? FIG 16.10

This process is fueled by…nucleoside nucleoside triphosphatestriphosphates

Semi-conservative

“Bubbles”

Replication forks,

simultaneous replication**Eukaryotes - multiple origins of replication

**Prokaryotes have one

DNA is made from DNA is made from 5’ to 3’5’ to 3’ and it is and it is read from 3’-5’.read from 3’-5’.

The 3’ end is the end which elongates (grows)

Why is this direction important to consider in Replication?

What do the terms 5’ and 3’ mean?What do the terms 5’ and 3’ mean?

Leading & Lagging strands, made 5’-3’

Telomeres Telomeres (Ch.16)(Ch.16)Unfilled gap left at the ends of the DNA strands due to the use of RNA primers

Eventual shortening of DNA over time

Dolly, cancer, HeLa cells (telomerase fig16.19)

Enzyme: Telomerase extends the (3’) long strand so the 5’ strand can finish.

WOW! ? ? ?

Where is telomerase naturally found?

DNA from a single skin cell, if straightened out, would be about six feet long but invisible. Half a gram of DNA,

uncoiled, would stretch to the sun. Again, you couldn't see it.

Story Time!! (Due Tuesday Nov. 6)

Select a figure, process, topic, or high level vocabulary word from chapter 16 or 17.

Your job is to make a poster of your selected topic.

-The poster should be kid-friendly as to say an intelligent 8-10 year old would be able to understand it yet make sure that all information communicated is true to the text.

- Finally, you may not use English, do the best you can, ask friends, relatives, teachers, etc for help if necessary. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following…..Experiments that identified DNA as the “genetic material”, DNA Structure, DNA Replication, Telomers and telomerase, Transcription, Modification of RNA, Translation, Mutations.
