DNA Foldable

1
DNA Foldable

• Directions
• Fold 3 pieces of paper, so you have 5 layered
  flaps
• Write DNA on the top flap as a title

2
On each flap write

• DNA Basics Organization
• DNA Structure Function
• DNA Replication
• RNA Structure Function
• Comparing DNA RNA

3
1. DNA Basics Organization
4
(Inside) On Top Half of 1st Flap write

• 1. Make the following flow chart
• Cell ? Nucleus ? Chromosome? DNA ? Gene
• 2. Glue in the following picture below it

Segment of DNA
5
(Inside) On Bottom Half of 1st Flap write

• DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid
• (type of organic molecule)
• DNA is the instructions for making proteins that
  carry out life functions

6
2. DNA Structure Function
7
(Inside) On Top Half of 2nd Flap write

• Directions
• Write DNA STRUCTURE
• Cut out panel and glue into flap
• Circle the following
• Green Phospahte Group
• Red Sugar
• BlueNitrogenous bases
• YellowNucleotide
• Purple Sugar-Phosphate backbone

DNA is has a double helical shape!
8
(Inside) On Top Bottom Half of 2nd Flap write

• Directions
• Write DNA FUNCTION
• Make the following table

Function Facts
Storage of Genetic Code double stranded sugar-phosphate backbone internal code (nitrogenous bases are protected by sugar-phosphate backbone) coiled tightly to allow for more surface area ? meaning more room to store genetic code
Passing of Traits nitrogen bases are complementary (A or adenine always bonds with T or thymine C or cytosine always bonds with G or guanine) weak hydrogen bonds hold bases together- allow for ease during replication

3. DNA Replication
10
(Inside) On Top Half of 3rd Flap write

• Directions
• Cut out panel and glue into flap
• Color the following in picture 1
• Green Parent Strand
• Yellow Complementary Strand
• Outline the following in picture 2
• Red Leading strand
• Blue Lagging strand

11
(Inside) On Top Bottom Half of 3rd Flap write
Leading Strand ONLY!

• Write Steps of DNA Replication
• Make the following flow chart

3. Elongation ?DNA protein polymerase reads
template strand and continuously adds new
nucleotides that are complementary to the parent
strand
1. DNA unwinds with help of protein helicase,
this breaks weak hydrogen bonds between bases
2. The protein primase attached to the parent
strand, this helps bind (attach) new nucleotides
Lagging Strand ONLY!
3. DNA primase adds more primers, DNA is
elongated in short segments (okazzki fragments)
by DNA polymerase and then is
4. DNA primers are removed DNA ligase adds
sugars and phosphates in gaps made by fragments
5. DNA Termination
6. DNA repairs itself

4. RNA Structure Function
13
(Inside) On Top Half of 4th Flap write

• Directions
• Write RNA STRUCTURE
• Cut out pictures, glue into flap and label types
  of RNA

rRNA
mRNA
tRNA
14
(Inside) On Top Bottom Half of 4th Flap write

• Directions
• Write RNA FUNCTION
• Make the following table

Type of RNA Function
mRNA messenger makes a copy of DNA in the nucleus travels from nucleus ? cytoplasm ? ribosome bases in mRNA are read in sets of 3 codon
rRNA ribosomal home of protein synthesis mRNA brings code, tRNA brings amino acids and rRNA puts the two together to make protein
tRNA transfer gathers amino acids travels to the ribosome contains a set of 3 bases in tRNA (anticodon)

5. Comparing DNA RNA
16
(Inside) On Top Half of 5th Flap write

• Directions
• Cut out panel and glue into flap

17
(Inside) On Bottom Half of 5th Flap

• Directions
• 1. Draw Complete the following Venn Diagram

DNA
RNA
