The E. Coli genome includes
approximately 4,000 genes
• Chromosomes
 Strands of DNA that contain all of
the genes an organism needs to
survive and reproduce
Chromosomes
• Genes
 Segments of DNA that specify
how to build a protein
• genes may specify more
than one protein in
eukaryotes
 Chromosome maps are used
to show the locus (location)
of genes on a chromosome
• Genetic Variation
 Phenotypic variation among organisms is due to genotypic variation
(differences in the sequence of their DNA bases)
 Differences exist between species and within a species
• Different genes (genomes)  different proteins (proteomes)
• Different versions of the same
gene (alleles)
• Differences in gene expression
(epigenetics)
Chromosomes
• Cell Division (mitosis)
 Cells must copy their chromosomes
(DNA synthesis) before they divide so
that each daughter cell will have a copy
 A region of the chromosome remains
uncopied (centromere) in order to hold
the sister chromatids together
– Keeps chromatids organized to help
make sure each daughter cell gets
exactly one copy
– Nondisjunction is when sister
chromatids do not assort correctly
and one cell ends up with both
copies while the other cell ends up
with none
DNA Replication
• DNA Synthesis
 The DNA bases on each
strand act as a template to
synthesize a complementary
strand
• Recall that Adenine (A)
pairs with thymine (T)
and guanine (G) pairs
with cytosine (C)
 The process is
semiconservative because
each new double-stranded
DNA contains one old
strand (template) and one
newly-synthesized
complementary strand

DNA Replication
• DNA Polymerase
 Enzyme that catalyzes the covalent bond between the phosphate of one
nucleotide and the deoxyribose (sugar) of the next nucleotide
DNA Polymerization
3’ end has a free deoxyribose
5’ end has a free phosphate
DNA polymerase:
 can only build the new strand in
the 5’ to 3’ direction
 Thus scans the template strand in
3’ to 5’ direction
DNA Replication
Initiation
• Primase (a type of RNA polymerase) builds an RNA primer
(5-10 ribonucleotides long)
• DNA polymerase attaches onto the 3’ end of the RNA primer
DNA Replication
DNA polymerase
Elongation
• DNA polymerase uses each strand as a template in the 3’ to 5’
direction to build a complementary strand in the 5’ to 3’ direction
DNA Replication
DNA polymerase
Elongation
• DNA polymerase uses each strand as a template in the 3’ to 5’
direction to build a complementary strand in the 5’ to 3’ direction
 results in a leading strand and a lagging strand
DNA Replication
Leading Strand
1. Topisomerase unwinds DNA and then Helicase breaks H-bonds
2. DNA primase creates a single RNA primer to start the replication
3. DNA polymerase slides along the leading strand in the 3’ to 5’ direction
synthesizing the matching strand in the 5’ to 3’ direction
4. The RNA primer is degraded by RNase H and replaced with DNA nucleotides by
DNA polymerase, and then DNA ligase connects the fragment at the start of the
new strand to the end of the new strand (in circular chromosomes)
DNA Replication
Lagging Strand
1. Topisomerase unwinds DNA and then Helicase breaks H-bonds
2. DNA primase creates RNA primers in spaced intervals
3. DNA polymerase slides along the leading strand in the 3’ to 5’ direction
synthesizing the matching Okazaki fragments in the 5’ to 3’ direction
4. The RNA primers are degraded by RNase H and replaced with DNA nucleotides
by DNA polymerase
5. DNA ligase connects the Okazaki fragments to one another (covalently bonds the
phosphate in one nucleotide to the deoxyribose of the adjacent nucleotide)
DNA Replication
Topoisomerase - unwinds DNA
Helicase – enzyme that breaks H-bonds
DNA Polymerase – enzyme that catalyzes connection of nucleotides to form complementary
DNA strand in 5’ to 3’ direction (reads template in 3’ to 5’ direction)
Leading Strand – transcribed continuously in 5’ to 3’ direction
Lagging Strand – transcribed in segments in 5’ to 3’ direction (Okazaki fragments)
DNA Primase – enzyme that catalyzes formation of RNA starting segment (RNA primer)
DNA Ligase – enzyme that catalyzes connection of two Okazaki fragments

Protein Synthesis
1) INITIATION
• Transcription
Initiation
 RNA polymerase binds to a
region on DNA known as the
promoter, which signals the
start of a gene
 Promoters are specific to genes
 RNA polymerase does not need
a primer
 Transcription factors assemble
at the promoter forming a
transcription initiation complex
– activator proteins help stabilize
the complex
 Gene expression can be regulated (turned
on/off or up/down) by controlling the amount
of each transcription factor
Protein Synthesis

the DNA and breaks the
H-bonds between the bases
of the two strands, separating
them from one another

helicase, topoisomerase, RNase H, and ligase play in DNA replication?
3. What is the difference between how the leading strand and lagging strand are
copied during DNA replication? Why do they have to be synthesized
differently in this fashion?
4. What would happen if insufficient RNase H were produced by a cell? What if
insufficient ligase were produced by a cell?
5. What are four key differences between DNA polymerase and RNA
polymerase? (“they are difference molecules” doesn’t count as one!)
6. Compare and contrast codons and anticodons?
7. What is alternative splicing? Why is it necessary in eukaryotes?
8. During translation, what amino acid sequence would the following mRNA
segment be converted into: AUGGACAUUGAACCG?
9. How come there are only 20 amino acids when there are 64 different codons?
10. How come prokaryotes can both transcribe and translate a gene at the same

(eukaryotes) Protein Synthesis 1) INITIATION • Transcription Initiation  RNA polymerase binds to a region on DNA known as the promoter, which signals the start of a gene  Promoters are specific to genes  RNA polymerase does not need a primer  Transcription factors assemble at the promoter forming a transcription initiation complex – activator proteins help stabilize the complex  Gene expression can be regulated (turned on/off or up/down) by controlling the amount of each transcription factor
  • 18. Protein Synthesis 1) INITIATION • Transcription Elongation  RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA and breaks the H-bonds between the bases of the two strands, separating them from one another  Base pairing occurs between incoming RNA nucleotides and the DNA nucleotides of the gene (template) • recall RNA uses uracil instead of thymine AGTCAT UCAGUA
  • 19. Protein Synthesis • Transcription Elongation  RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA and breaks the H-bonds between the bases of the two strands, separating them from one another.  Base pairing occurs between incoming RNA nucleotides and the DNA nucleotides of the gene (template) • recall RNA uses uracil instead of thymine  RNA polymerase catalyzes bond to form between ribose of 3’ nucleotide of mRNA and phosphate of incoming RNA nucleotide 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ + ATP + ADP
  • 20. Protein Synthesis • Transcription Elongation The gene occurs on only one of the DNA strands; each strand possesses a separate set of genes
  • 21. Protein Synthesis 1) INITIATION • Transcription Termination  A region on DNA known as the terminator signals the stop of a gene  RNA polymerase disengages the mRNA and the DNA
  • 22.  Exons are “coding” regions  Introns are removed  different combinations of exons form different mRNA resulting in multiple proteins from the same gene  Humans have 30,000 genes but are capable of producing 100,000 proteins Protein Synthesis • Alternative Splicing (eukaryotes only)

  • 41. • There are four main types of RNA: 1. mRNA - RNA copy of a gene used as a template for protein synthesis 2. rRNA - part of structure of ribosomes 3. tRNA - amino acid carrier that matches to mRNA codon 4. snRNA - found in nucleus where they have several important jobs RNA
  • 42. 1. Why is DNA synthesis said to be “semiconservative”? 2. What role do DNA polymerase, DNA primase (a type of RNA polymerase), helicase, topoisomerase, RNase H, and ligase play in DNA replication? 3. What is the difference between how the leading strand and lagging strand are copied during DNA replication? Why do they have to be synthesized differently in this fashion? 4. What would happen if insufficient RNase H were produced by a cell? What if insufficient ligase were produced by a cell? 5. What are four key differences between DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase? (“they are difference molecules” doesn’t count as one!) 6. Compare and contrast codons and anticodons? 7. What is alternative splicing? Why is it necessary in eukaryotes? 8. During translation, what amino acid sequence would the following mRNA segment be converted into: AUGGACAUUGAACCG? 9. How come there are only 20 amino acids when there are 64 different codons? 10. How come prokaryotes can both transcribe and translate a gene at the same time, but eukaryotes cannot? Practice Questions
