What do these have in common? They all contain the same chemicals in their DNA!
The diagram below represents a portion of a nucleic acid molecule. The part indicated by arrow X could be (a) adenine. (b) ribose. (c) deoxyribose. (d) phosphate.
DNA REPLICATION Pg. 37 • Chromosomes are duplicated Interphase during _____. • Replication- DNA molecule making copies of itself
1) Double helix untwists. Replication 2) H bonds are broken by DNA helicase and the DNA separates like a zipper. (Each ½ serves as a pattern for the new DNA chain. ) 3) DNA polymerase connects free nucleotides in the nucleus to the correct bases. (BASE PAIRING RULE using Primase) Steps of
Steps, cont. 4) Bonds form between all the parts. (Ligase) 5) 2 new DNAs twist into the double helix. Untwist unzipping adding new parts 2 DNA molecules retwist
Answer your Essential Question
DNA RECOMBINATION • Notice A always joins to T and G always to C
Assignment: 1. Color DNA nucleotides: S = yellow P = purple T = green C = orange A = red G = Blue 2. Cut them out. 3. Create a DNA molecule for the nucleotide sequence I give you. 4. When done turn into the basket and clean up your desk area, floor area and bucket.
