PPT-DNA Structure & Replication

DNA Structure The discovery of the structure Francis Crick and James Watson The deoxyribonucleic acid DNA molecule is the genetic blueprint for each cell and ultimately the blueprint that determines every characteristic of a living organism The DNA molecule was discovered in 1951 by Francis Crick James Watson and Maurice Wilkins using Xray diffraction . SC.L.16.3 . Describe . the basic process. of . DNA replication . and how it relates . to the . transmission . and . conservation. of . the genetic information. DNA and Its structure. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a large organic. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN. -process of DNA making copies . -role of enzymes in copying DNA. -leading and lagging strands in DNA replication. READING Q. ’. s . 1-LIST:. -the 3 phases of semi-conservative replication. Models of DNA replication: Meselson-Stahl Experiment. DNA synthesis and elongation. DNA polymerases. Origin and initiation of DNA replication. Prokaryote/eukaryote models (circular/linear chromosomes). Learning Objectives. What happens during DNA replication?. How is a new polynucleotide strand formed?. Why is DNA replication known as ‘semi-conservative’?. Putting What We’ve Learnt So Far In To Context.... Objectives:. 1. Summarize the roles of the different enzymes involved in replication of DNA.. 2. Explain how the leading and lagging strands are replicated differently . Semiconservative. Replication. The function of DNA in the cells is to. preserve genetic information.. transfer genetic information to new cells as the strands of DNA are copied.. DNA Replication. In . DNA replication. ,. the strands in the original or parent DNA molecule separate to allow the synthesis of complementary DNA strands.. Semiconservative vs. Conservative. DNA Polymerase. RNA Primase. Okazaki Fragments. Replication Errors. TeachWithFergy . Preview File. . Please . enjoy this preview of your Power Point. . Some slides appear blank because they have been removed.. DNA REPLICATION. DNA IS COPIED. 1. DURING . S-phase. of . INTERPHASE. PREPARATION FOR CELL DIVISION. SEPARATION. 2. THE . STrAND. OF DNA IS . UNZIPPED. BY . HELICASE. 3. THE POINT OF SEPARATION IS CALLED THE . BIO…. LIFE….. THINK ABOUT THIS: . What do we do in our lifetime?. What are the major stages of our life?. What are the Major stages of physical development in our lives?. What would it look like. By. Dr. R. C. . Nath. ; Associate Professor. Department of Zoology. Govt. Degree College, DMR. .. Structure of a DNA molecule. `. It . has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. Lecture 4. DNA . replication. Before . each cell . division, . new copies . must be made of each of the many molecules that form . the cell. , including the duplication of all DNA molecules. . DNA replication . Something to think about... When a species . reproduces. , there is . genetic continuity . maintained from one generation to the next.. WHAT . is responsible for this continuity?. HOW . does this continuity happen?. In . their 1953 announcement of a double helix structure for DNA, Watson and Crick stated, .
