DNA

• Lesson Learning Outcomes:

Increasing Difficulty

What is the job of DNA?

State the purpose of

DNA

Identify where DNA is

stored in a cell

Carry out a practical to extract DNA from plant

cells

What is dna?• DNA is amazing!• It can make EXACT

copies of itself• It provides

instructions for cells to make proteins

Match the procedure with the reason – write it in next to the correct step

Humans have human genes

Organisms differ because they have different genes.

What makes organisms different?

Gerbils have gerbil genes

Bananas have (yes, you’ve guessed it) banana genes!

Genetic information

The nucleus of living cells contain chromosomes which are made up of a string of genes.

Different genes control the development of different characteristics by issuing instructions to the cell.

Chromosomes and their genes are made of a molecule called DNA.

DNA molecules carry the code that controls what cells are made of and what they do.

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic

acid.

Each chromosome is a very long molecule of tightly coiled DNA.

What is DNA?

The DNA moleculelooks like a

twisted ladder thisspiral shape is

called a DOUBLE HELIX

The double helix ‘ladder’ of a DNA molecule is held together by ‘rungs’ made from pairs of chemicals called bases.

DNA Bases

There are four types of bases, and they are usually identified by their initials.

Base pairs hold the two strands of the DNA helix together.

It is the sequence of these bases along a DNA molecule that forms the genetic code – it’s that simple!
