DNA Notes
Objective
●Students understand:
1. Who contributed to our knowledge of
DNA
2.The role DNA plays in our
development
3. DNA structure!!
Who were the big players in developing our
current DNA knowledge
Chargaff: Discovered the amount of adenine =
thymine, guanine = Cytosine.
Franklin: Created images of the DNA molecule.
Watson and Crick: Concluded that DNA looks like a
long twisted ladder.
This chemical substance is present in the nucleus
of all cells in all living organisms
DNA controls chemical changes which
take place in cells
The kind of cell which is formed, (muscle,
nerve etc) is controlled by DNA
The kind of organism produced (buttercup,
giraffe, human etc) is controlled by DNA

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.
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.

How is DNA Read?
Replication
●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
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.
Write your summary. :)
