DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
DNA Structure & Function
Function
- Contains genetic information
- Makes a copy of its instructions for structure and function of organism
- Passes copy to next generation through reproduction
Structure
- Name: Deoxyribonucleic acid
- Location: All cells of an organism
- Location in cell: Inside nucleus and mitochondria
- Proper name of shape: Single strand = Double Helix
Condensed form =Chromosome - Analogy for shape: Twisted ladder or spiral staircase
- Steps of ladder =Bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine) A-T and C-G
- Sides of ladder = Sugar & Phosphate
- Building block of DNA is a Nucleotide
- Nucleotide consists of Sugar-Phosphate-Base
- DNA is a nucleic acid, which means it is a long chain of nucleotide.

Harmful: Has a negative effect on the organisms's fitness and decreases chances of survival.
Neural - No effect on fitness and does not change the organisms chance of survival.

HOW DNA WORKS
Making a Protein
- DNA unwinds in nucleus
- A specific gene picked
- Enzyme spits the DNA down the middle
- Half of the DNA sequence is used to create mRNA
- The mRNA (which is a single strand) disconnects from DNA and travels outside of the nucleus
- Inside the cytoplasm, a ribosome attaches to the mRNA
- Free floating tRNA are used by the ribosomes
- tRNA attach and create a amino acid for every three base pairs
- A long chain of amino acids is formed
- When the gene is finished being read, the protein condenses into its final form
