DNA Replication a Protein Synthesis

• By Caitlyn Metros and Jonathan Torres

2
Structures of DNA

• DNA is a double helix.
• Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA
• The Bases of DNA are
• AdenineGuanine
• ThymineCytosine

3
Who Discovered DNA

• Rosalind Franklin was the first person to
  actually see DNA. She used the technology known
  as X-ray Crystallography.
• However, Watson and Crick received credit for the
  findings.

4
Steps of Protein Synthesis

• DNA---------gtRNA---------gtProtein
• (Transcription) (Translation)
• Transcription rewrites the DNA code as messenger
  RNA.

5
Steps of DNA Replication

• An enzyme breaks the hydrogen bond between the
  pair nitrogen bases.
• This allows DNA to UNZIP as the two strands
  move apart.
