Science 10 DNA and Genetics Unit: Note PackageDO NOT LOSEName: ______________________________ LINK: Bill Nye: Genetics 45 minDNA and Inheritance:_____________________ in every organism on Earth has DNA or RNA (in this course we will focus on DNA)DNA is the code or ___________________ that directs the cell to make proteins.DNA - Deoxyribonucleic AcidLINK: “What is DNA and How does it work?” by Stated Clearly 5:23 minWhat are proteins good for?These proteins are used either: in _____________________ of the organism such as hair, skin and muscle ORto make ________________that catalyze the organic reactions that happen in cells. These reactions allows cells to do their different jobs in an organismLINK: “What is a Protein” by Media 2:16 min (copy and paste into browser)DNA and You:Your DNA makes you a ______________ member of your species. Each member of a species is genetically similar enough to produce __________, which means they have the same number of chromosomes and all their genes are in the same places on each ______________________. LINK: “Chromosomes, genes and alleles” by Alex Lee 9:42 min.We receive ______ of our DNA from our biological mother (in her egg) and _____ from our biological father (in his sperm). This applies to our brothers and sisters as well, we are ____________________ ________________________ genetically to our siblings because the genes (DNA) in Mom and Dad are mixed up every time a sperm or egg cells are made. This happens during meiosis and is called ____________________.LINK: “Meiosis” by Crash Course, 11:42 min.Identical Twins:The only exception to this is___________________ twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc.. These cases all originate from the _____________________________________ and so their DNA is identical.The Structure of DNA:Each DNA strand is paired with another strand in a twisted structure called a ________________________.In a double helix, ____________________ of DNA are coiled around each other. The bases are inside the helix with the bases from one strand lying close to the bases from the partner strand. These strands are held together by hydrogen ___________________________.LINK: “The Structure of DNA” by MITx bio 5:58 minComplementary Base Pairing in DNA_______________ (C) and _________________ (G) always bond with each other_______________ (A) and _________________ (T) always bond with each otherChromosomes:The DNA double helix wraps around proteins called histones to keep it ________________________________________ so it can fit into the nucleus. Chromosomes (the most compact form of DNA) are _____________________ __________________________ so duplicate copies of the DNA can be separated into the two daughter cells thus preserving the genetic code of the parent cellLINK: “Genes, DNA and Chromosomes explained” by science explained, 2:15 minWhen the cell is _______________________ it must function at whatever job it has to do. At this time the DNA is in its less compact form called c____________________ so that it can be available to code for proteins.DNA Code:All humans have the same sugar-phosphate backbone in their DNA. The _____________________________ that project off of the sugar are responsible for our _____________________________ and thus, except for identical siblings, these bases are not the same from person to person. When DNA testing is done to identify such things as a dead body or a criminal, scientists examine the bases on the DNA strands. The ___________________ two people (outside identical siblings) in the world have the exact same base sequence on all their DNA strands, is trillions to one; essentially, it is ____________DNA Replication:When one cell divides into two, each new cell must get a __________________ ____________________ To make this happen, all of the DNA in a cell is ___________________(copied). Just before the cell divides it has two copies of each DNA strand because they have already replicated. Replication ________________ the number of DNA strands, allowing for one copy of each DNA for each of the two new cells. DNA replication involves 3 steps: Unwinding or unzippingComplementary base pairingJoiningDNA Replication Step 1: Unwinding or UnzippingThe first step in replicating DNA is to “_____________” the double helix. An enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the __________________ ________________________, separating the two strands, as shown in the diagram below.DNA Replication Step 2: Complementary Base PairingAs the DNA strands unwind and separate, they are used as ________________ to make a new double helix. The original or __________________________ is copied and two new strands, called ____________________________ are made by complementary base pairing of the 4 bases.The nucleotides required for this process are always _______________ in the nucleus and are acquired through the foods we eat. The diagram below shows this process.DNA Replication Step 3: JoiningThe original parent strands and the daughter strands need to be “____________” together, much like the way two pieces of wood need to be nailed together when we build a house. Another ___________________ performs this task and joins the….Adenines (A) to the Thymines (T) Guanines (G) to the Cytosines (C) ?When joining is complete, the process of replication has produced two _____________________ DNA double helices. When the cell divides, each new cell gets ______________________ of each double helixLINK: “DNA Replication 3-D” by yourgenome 3:27 min.LINK: “DNA Structure and Replication” by Crash Course, 12:58 min. The Life of a Cell:Now each cell is ready to divide and each cell will get an exact copy of the DNA molecule.When a cell is ________________________ the chromosomes unwind and become chromatin again. Now the _______________________________________to make proteinProtein Synthesis:As I mentioned earlier, each ___________ produces a unique protein. ________ __________ are the building blocks of proteins. LINK: “From DNA to protein 3-D” by yourgenome 2:41 minProtein Synthesis involves 2 steps:Making RNA (Transcription)Making protein using the RNA (Translation)RNA Transcription Step 1: Rewriting the DNA to make RNAThe gene on the DNA is _____________________ so that a single strand of RNA can be made from the code (sequence of bases)So the ________________________ of the “directions” carried by that gene.RNA Translation Step 2: Making Protein from RNANow the RNA message can be translated into “_____________________”.The RNA leaves the nucleus and finds a ______________ in the cytoplasm. The ribosome binds with the RNA so it can be _________.As the message “zips” through the ribosome, amino acids are attracted and attached together thereThe code (sequence of bases) in the DNA then becomes the RNA code, which then determines the ____________________ of the amino acids.Because amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are added together like __________________________________, the code is essential to the way that protein worksIf that code is changed, the protein it makes will be different.Protein Molecule:LINK: “What is Protein?” by RCSBProteinDataBank 3:38 MinMutation: When the DNA code is changed___________________ are changes in the base sequence of an organism’s DNA. Sometimes it may affect __________ one base, sometimes more than one. Mutations will only affect the organism if the gene that is changed is being used.All organisms have “junk DNA” that is no longer __________ by any of the cells.Causes of Mutations:Copying errors during cell divisionMutagensLINK: “What happens when you DNA is damaged” by Monica Menesini (Ted-Ed) 4:58 minCopying Errors:Enzymes do make ________________ at a rate of about 1 per every 100,000 bases. Some of the mistakes are __________________ immediately during replication through a process known as __________________________. Incorrectly paired nucleotides that still remain following mismatch repair __________________________________ mutations after the next cell division.Mutagens: ____________________: Things in the environment that cause mutations. Some examples of mutagens include:UV light, X-rays and other powerful radiationOrganic chemicals that react with the DNA molecule (pesticides and cigarette smoke)Viruses whose DNA and RNA can interact with the cell’s DNA during an infectionEffects of Mutations:Changes in the DNA may cause changes in _____________________________ made from the DNA (such as the hemoglobin in Sickle Cell Anemia)Sometimes a number of mutations affect the way cells divide and grow which can cause _______________.Changes in DNA in ________________ (sperm and egg), lead to mutations in offspring and _______________________________________ into a species.LINK: “Effects of Mutation” by Education Portal 8:23 min.DNA Mutation and Cancer:With cancer, the mutations happen in the normal ____________________They can then make the person sick but will ____________________________ to the next generationMutation: Sickle Cell AnemiaThis is a ____________________________ so only one base has been changed in a sperm or egg cell.The ______________________________ made by this new gene is incomplete and produces a deformed red blood cell.Because this is a _____________________________, the first mutation must have happened in an egg or sperm cell and so was passed on through future generations..Google Classroom Assignment: Sickle Cell Anemia Mini-Report (20 Marks)Write 400+ words with 4+ images on Google Classroom. Make sure you answer all of the following questions in your mini-report:What does a sickled red blood cell look like and why?What are the problems a person with this disease would suffer from?Where in the world is this disease most common?Why has this mutation not been selected-out over time since it seems to be disabling to the person who has it? (Consider that the sickle cell allele must also give the person who has it some advantage)Types of Mutations:______________________________causes disease or death in an organism. For example, cancer._______________________________ have no effect of the organism because it they often happen in genes that the organism does not use.________________________________ will benefit an organism by creating new genes that helps the organism survive. These new beneficial genes tend to be selected for in future generations and so will stay in a species. For example: white fur in arctic rabbits. Genetic Disorder Research Project“New Genes” and Evolution:Without new genes species would not be able to _________________.Change in the way a species body functions, looks and behaves is what __________________ is about.Because the _______________________________ on Earth is always changing (climate, landscapes) then it is necessary that organisms change in order to survive. This is called _______________________.LINK: “What is Evolution?” by Stated Clearly, 8:52 minLINK: “Part 1: How Does New Genetic Information Evolve? Point Mutations” by Stated Clearly, 7:02 minLINK: “Part 2: How Does New Genetic Information Evolve? Gene Duplications” by Stated Clearly, 8:55 minAdaptation and Natural Selection:Regardless of the organism, more of the offspring in every generation _______ __________________The organisms in a species that die are usually __________________________ to the present conditions (environment) than those that survive.This ever-changing process means that organisms are always evolving in response to an ever-changing environment. Otherwise there would be _____________________________. Organisms would have gone _______________ after the first major change in the environment billions of years ago (such as when oxygen was introduced into the atmosphere).LINK: “What is Natural Selection?” by Stated Clearly, 9:18 min LINK: “Natural Selection” by Crash Course 12:44 minHuman Evolution: If you are interested in Human Evolution and we don’t have time to watch all of these videos in class, I have provided the links below.
