DNA Polymerases
|
|
Polymerase I functions as a repair enzyme that can add 10 nucleotides per second.
Polymerase II is the replicative enzyme and it replicates both the leading and lagging strands of DNA, it adds at 1000 nucleotides per second. These two enzymes are the enzymes in bacteria and they cure like comparable enzyme. |

|
Nucleosome Beads
|
|
Eukaryotic chromosome ends, non-coding, repetitive DNA sequences. Shortened slightly with each cycle. Can be extended by telomerase. The sequence of human telomeres is TTAGGG which is repeated more than 1000 times at the end of each chromosome.

DNA Replication
|
|
DNA is in the nucleus of Eukaryotic cells, it is replicated in nucleus by DNA polymerase, replication of DNA is semi-conservative. It is replicated in S phase of cell cycle, the information on the DNA gene is in the sequence of DNA bases. Mutation-change in sequence of bases. DNA replication is very accurate, one error in 10^9-10^10 nucleotides replication.

|
Can a genetic trait be transmitted from one bacterial strain to another? Yes. Transforming Factor(TF) passed from the dead smooth to the live rough.

Griffiths Transformation Experiment 1928
|
|
Live R+DNA from heat killed smooth+RNAase->mice die. Live R+DNA from heat killed smooth+Protease->mice die. Live R+DNA from heat killed smooth+DNAase->mice live. Transforming factor in Pneumococcus bacteria is DNA. DNAase destroys TF
|
Avery's Experiment 1944
|
|
Is DNA or protein the genetic material in bacterial viruses(phage)? Bacterial viruses(bacteriophage T2)-50% DNA 50% protein No RNA. Radioactivity label the DNA with phosphorous. Radioactivity label the protein with Sulfur. Bacteriophage infects bacteria. They removed the phage with a blender and spun in a centrifuge. The (-32 DNA went into the bacteria in the pellet and the S-35 protein stayed up in the supernatant. DNA is the genetic material of the bacteriophage.
|
Hershey-Chase Experiments 1952

|
They developed the Double Helix model using using the data from these studies: Franklin-Wilkins, from xray diffraction DNA had a helical shape. Erwin Chargaff equal amounts of Adenine=Thymine, Guanine=Cytosine
|
Watson and Crick 1953
|
|
Dominant allele masks expression of a recessive allele, Phenotype is apperance, Genotype is genetic construction
|

|
Early:Chromatids shorten and thicken, coil up, become visible in the microscope. nuclear envelope begins to disappear. two pairs of centrioles(animal cells) move toward the poles and spindle fibers start to form.
Late: nuclear membrane and nucleolus break down, the microtubles of the spindle attach to the chromatids. |
Prophase
|
|
Chromosomes line up in the middle, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores
|
Metaphase
|
|
The centromeres split between the sister chromatids-this is early anaphase. The separated sister chromatids are pulled to the poles by dissembly of the kinetichore microtubles. Late anaphase- separate chromatids are pulled into the shape of a "V" to reduce friction
|
Anaphase
|
|
Chromatids get to poles, nuclear envelope reforms from vesicles, nucleolus reappears
