DNA REPLICATION
DNA is essential process inherited genetic information contained in a cell is passed off to the next generation
it is made possible by structural properties of DNA molecules complementary base pairing, nucleotide composition, hydrogen bonds between strands of DNA
hydrogen bonds between the bases are disrupted allowing side chains to unwind each chain then acts as a template for the synthesis of new complementary bases
occurs BEFORE CELL DIVISION (metaphase 3 types include, mitosis
-
dna polymerase
replicates DNA molecules, complementary free nucleotides are added - synthesis of the daughter strand
-
dna LIGASE joins fragments of nucleotides together to from the 2 lagging (replicate) strands seals okazaki fragments results in the production of 2 identical DNA molecules 1 parent, 1 new daughter strand
CELL CYCLE
mitosis
-
-
always undergoing mitosis and cytokinesis, most of the time cells are not dividing and are in a phase called interphase everyday processes creating proteins, cells will only begin mitosis when new cells are needed
early prophase
1 prophase chromosomes appear, nuclear membrane disappears, spindle forms
-
meiosis
-
-
prophase 1 nuclear membrane disappears, chromosomes condense thicken and line up in homologous pairs (approximately the same size, contain same genes in same location-chromosomes "cross over" transfer genetic info
metaphase 1 pairs line up in random orientation with help of spindle fibers, pairs move to centre of the cell
-
prophase 2 spindle forms nuclei membrane disappears, do not form into homologous appears
-
-
cell division* genetic material of the dividing cells was equally positioned between the two resulting cells, to accomplish this a process called MITOSIS** occurs the process during the division of EUKARYOTIC cells are summoned in the sequence of events referred to as the cell cycle
cell cycle
-
M PHASE
mitosis in which DNA separates so each daughter cell receives the identical genetic code to that of the dividing cell (PMAT)
c phase - cytokinesis, division of the cell itself creating TWO daughter cells
-
STRUCTURE OF DNA
chromosomes
Each cell in your body contains 46 chromosomes these are made of DNA molecules tightly wound around patterns around proteins - histones
23 from the female parent, 23 from the male parent
-
-
consists of two long strands of complementary nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds which are relatively weak
each DNA strand contains coded genetic information (gives instructions for making proteins in the cell)
-
vital properties of DNA
DNA can make copies of itself - strands unwind, each strand can be used to make new DNA models
DNA can carry NEW information, order of bases along the strand is code for making proteins
-
EVOLUTION
-
-
evolutions is the permanent change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to NATURAL SELECTION
