IntroductionIntroduction• You are made up of billions of cells and each cell has its own unique set of 46 chromosomes.• A chromosome is just one big long chain of DNA! • DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains all the information that determines who you are!

DNADNA• DNA DNA is often called the
blueprint of life..
• DNADNA contains the instructions for making proteins within the cell.

Chromosomes and DNAChromosomes and DNA
• Our genes are on our chromosomes.
• Chromosomes are made up of DNA.

The Shape of the MoleculeThe Shape of the Molecule
• DNA is a very long polymer. (chain of nucleic acids)
• Its basic shape is like a twisted ladder or zipper.
• It is called a double helix.

The Double Helix MoleculeThe Double Helix Molecule
• The DNA double helix has two strands twisted together.

One Strand of DNAOne Strand of DNA• The backbone of
the molecule is alternating phosphates and deoxyribose sugar.
• Nitrogenous bases are attached to the backbone.

Four nitrogenous basesFour nitrogenous bases
• Cytosine C• Thymine T
• Adenine A
• Guanine G
DNA has four different bases:

Two Stranded DNATwo Stranded DNA• Remember, DNA
has two strands that fit together something like a zipper.
• The teeth are the nitrogenous bases but why do they stick together?

Hydrogen BondsHydrogen Bonds• The bases attract each
other because of hydrogen bonds.
• Hydrogen bonds are weak but there are millions and millions of them in a single molecule of DNA.

Hydrogen Bonds, Hydrogen Bonds, cont.
• When making hydrogen bonds:– Cytosine always
pairs up with Guanine.
– Adenine always pairs up with Thymine.
