DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule found in all cells that contains genes coding for traits. The structure of DNA, established by Watson, Crick, and Franklin, resembles a twisted ladder made of nucleotides, which consist of a phosphate, sugar, and base. DNA replication occurs during interphase, allowing the DNA to make copies of itself, and it is essential for protein synthesis, which is governed by the Central Dogma of molecular biology.

deoxyribonucleic Acid 1. DNA stands for _______________________________________ It is found in all cells, packed tightly within_________________________in chromosomes the nucleus of __________ genes cell. Segments of DNA code for traits - what we call __________________________. genes
2. Structure of DNA was established by James __________________,
watson Francis _______________ and crick rosaild franklin _______________ ___________________.
took photos of dna
3. Rosalind Franklin ___________________________________ DNA. The shape of DNA circle is a ______________________________. Think of it like a__________ ladder. rope
nucleotides 4. DNA is made of repeating subunits called ___________________. Each nucleotide can have one of _______________________. hydrogen bond thymine Adenine __________________________ Guanine cytosine __________________________
5. A closer look at a nucleotide: each nucleotide has three parts. Label them below:
phosphate
base
sugur
a hard-rive they store info
6. The bases on a string of DNA are the code. Bases are like ______________ Letters form ___________ Words form sentences. a t a t c a t g c ggg building blocks 7. DNA contains the _____________________________ to build the organism. We revive can potentially ________________________ extinct animals.
adenine 8. The Base Pair Rule states that __________________ always pairs with Thymine guanine and __________________always pairs with Cytosine. The sides of the DNA ladder are _________________ and __________________. phosphatehydrogen bonds Applying the Base Pair Rule
One side: A T A T C A T G C G G G Other side:
copy 9. DNA Replication is the process by which DNA makes a ________________________ of itself. When does replication happen in the cell cycle? ____________________________. interphase
10. Replication is Semi - _______________________________.
conservative The old strand serves as a foundation _____________________ for building the new strand and each new copy has one half of the __________________________. old cell mutations This can reduce copy _____________________.
nucleus 11. How DNA makes Proteins. DNA stays in the _________________. protiens It is used to make ________. RNA contains the code to build ______________________. amino acids RNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ______________________ cytosol where proteins are made.
12. The Central Dogma is a BIG idea in biology. It explains how DNA codes for traits in all organisms. There are three important points to remember: everything 1) ___________________ are made of DNA. 2) Segments of DNA code for a_____________. copy oca2 3) Protein in turn, relates to a______(eye color, enzymes, hormones, hemoglobin in blood cells, proteins in the cell membrane).
