Objective: I can identify the structure and makeup of a DNA molecule. Homework: Complete HW79

Activity 1: Cornell Notes Biology Objective / Essential Question:

!

Main Ideas / Questions: 1.

Notes: DNA stands for ________________________________________

2.

________________ and _____________ are credited with discovering that DNA was a ______________________________ However, _______________________________ took an important x-ray photograph of DNA that showed that DNA was a double helix. Stop-and-Jot: 1. What is the picture below of? Who took this picture?

2. How was the discovery of the double helix an example of collaboration between scientists? How was it NOT?

Activity 1 Continued: Cornell Notes Main Ideas / Questions: 3. Notes: DNA is a _____________________________ so it is made of _____________________________________ Each nucleotide has 3 parts:

There are four possible nitrogen bases in DNA: o ______ = adenine o ______ = thymine o ______ = cytosine o ______ = guanine Stop-and-Jot: 1. In the space below, draw a nucleotide using simple shapes that contains the nitrogen base adenine. Label the three parts of your nucleotide. You can use the letter A to label the adenine.

2. Which part(s) of your adenine nucleotide would be the same in a guanine nucleotide? Which part(s) would be different?

Activity 1 Continued: Cornell Notes Main Ideas / Questions: 4. Notes: The ____________ from one nucleotide connects to the ________________ on another nucleotide forming the sugarphosphate backbone of DNA

The 2 strands of DNA are held together by ___________________ ___________ between the ____________ on either side.

Stop-and-Jot: 1. Label the DNA molecule below using the following terms: Nucleotide Sugar Phosphate Backbone Hydrogen Bond Nitrogen Bases

Activity 1 Continued: Cornell Notes Main Ideas / Questions: 5. Notes: The base pair rule states the following: o _____ will only bond with ______ o _____ will only bond with ______ Mnemonic Device: This means that if you know what bases are on one strand (side) of the DNA, you can predict what bases are on the ________________________ (opposite) strand. Stop-and-Jot: 1. If one strand of DNA contains the nitrogen bases A T C G G A T, what nitrogen bases are on the complementary strand? 2. A DNA molecule has 100 nucleotides. There are 30 adenine nucleotides. How many of each of the following nucleotides are in the DNA molecule? Thymine _______ 6. Guanine ________ Cytosine_____

DNA stores our _____________________________ information. The sequence of ___________________, especially ___________ ____________, in DNA is the code for how to make ___________, and proteins determine our _______________________________.

Stop-and-Jot: 1. Why do some people have different eye colors?

Activity 2: Vocabulary Mastery Directions: Pick 6 terms from the notes that you are (a) have the most difficulty with or (b) believe to be the most important terms. Write them down in the chart below and then write the class definition (from your Cornell Notes). When you are done, call your teacher over to check your definitions and get a signature.

If you scratch your knee or break your bone, youll use this process to replace the cells that die____ 5. This process only takes place in the ovaries or testes _____ 6. This process makes diploid cells that have two sets of DNA _____ 7. This process makes haploid cells that have only one set of DNA______ 8. This process makes cells that are genetically different ______
