16 - The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Ch. 16: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Concept 16.1: DNA is the genetic material Early in the 20th century, the identification of the molecules of inheritance loomed as a major challenge to biologists When T. H. Morgan?s group showed that genes are located on chromosomes, the two components of chromosomes?DNA and protein?became candidates for the genetic material A chromosome consists of a DNA molecule packed together with proteins The bacterial chromosome is a double-stranded, circular DNA molecule associated with a small amount of protein Eukaryotic chromosomes have linear DNA molecules associated with a large amount of protein In a bacterium, the DNA is ?supercoiled? and found in a region of the cell called the nucleoid

AP Biology: DNA Replication Lab You will use simulations to demonstrate the structure and replication of DNA in this laboratory exercise. As you have studied, the genetic information for living organisms is stored in the structure of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). Our DNA molecules carry the genetic code for inherited characteristics in the triplet-coded sequences of its nitrogen bases. Each time a cell divides, its DNA is precisely duplicated (DNA replication) so that the DNA of the cells formed is identical to that of the original cell.

Ch 16 Multiple Choice Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. ____ 1. For a couple of decades, biologists knew the nucleus contained DNA and proteins. The prevailing opinion was that the genetic material was proteins, and not DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are more complex than DNA. This is because a. proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA. b. proteins have two different levels of structural organization; DNA has four. c. proteins are made of 20 amino acids and DNA is made of four nucleotides. d. Only A and C are correct. e. A, B, and C are correct. ____ 2. In his transformation experiments, Griffith observed that a.

DNA Replication INDIVIDUAL: List the enzymes/proteins involved in DNA replication and describe their role. What is a nucleotide composed of? What makes up the backbone of DNA? What are the DNA bases? Tell which are purines and pyrimidenes. Which bases pair together? What holds them together? GROUP: Replication of DNA follows the __________________________________model. Explain this model, in addition to the other two which DNA replication does not follow. A DNA strand has the following bases: A A G C C A. What are the bases on its complimentary strand? During DNA replication, nucleotides are brought in as______________. Why is this? (Bubble the right answer)

Chapter 16 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Essay questions will be on Feulgen, Griffith experiement, Hershey and Chase, Chargoff, Watson and Crick, Tatum Beadle Experiment Overview: Your genetic material is contained in: 1. 46 chromsomes from mom and dad 2. Mitochondrial DNA from mom Nucleic acids - Unique from all other molecules in that they can direct their own replication. 16.1 DNA is the genetic material A. The Search for Genetic Material: Scientific Inquiry Initially, Genes were noted to be on chromosomes (b/c of work by Morgan an d Mendel) ? so people didn?t know if they were on the proteins or on the DNA. 1. Frederick Griffith (figure 16.2)? Showed evidence that DNA (not protein) can transform bacteria Background:

Copyright ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. - 1 - Name_______________________ Period___________ Chapter 16: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Concept 16.1 DNA is the genetic material 1. What are the two chemical components of chromosomes? DNA and protein 2. Why did researchers originally think that protein was the genetic material? Until the 1940s, the case for proteins seemed stronger, especially since biochemists had identified them as a class of macromolecules with great heterogeneity and specificity of function, essential requirements for the hereditary material. Moreover, little was known about nucleic acids, whose physical and chemical properties seemed far too uniform to account for

Biology, 7e (Campbell) Chapter 17: From Gene to Protein 7) Which of the following represents a similarity between RNA and DNA? D) nucleotides consisting of a phosphate, sugar, and nitrogenous base 9) Using RNA as a template for protein synthesis instead of translating proteins directly from the DNA is advantageous for the cell because B) RNA acts as an expendable copy of the genetic material, allowing the DNA to serve as a permanent, pristine repository of the genetic material. C) many mRNA molecules can be transcribed from a single gene, increasing the potential rate of gene expression. D) B and C only
