How is DNA organised inside the cell nucleus?
Each DNA molecule consists of two parallel strands twisted around each other to form a double helix.
During cell division, the chromatin threads coil more tightly to form chromosomes inside the cell nucleus.
A molecule of DNA is wrapped around proteins to form a single chromatin thread.

What is DNA?
• A molecule that carries genetic information.
• It is made up of nucleotides.
• A nucleotide is made up of:
(1) a deoxyribose (sugar) molecule,
(2) a phosphate group, and
(3) a nitrogen-containing base
- adenine (A), thymine (T),
guanine (G), or cytosine (C).

Possible nucleotides that can be formed:
adenine nucleotide
thymine nucleotide
guanine nucleotide
cytosine nucleotide
bases
sugar-phosphate backbone
polynucleotide
These nucleotides can be joined together to form polynucleotides.

The DNA molecule is made of two anti-parallel polynucleotide strands. (The two strands run in opposite directions.)
The bases on one strand form bonds with the bases on the other strand according to the rule of base pairing.

Rule of base pairing
• Adenine (A) bonds with thymine (T)
• Guanine (G) bonds with cytosine (C)
These pairs of bases are called complementary bases.
• Adenine (A) and thymine (T) are complementary bases. • Guanine (G) and cytosine (C) are complementary bases.

• The Eye Colour is Green due to proteins.
• Proteins are formed thanks to genes found in the DNA that encodes for eye colour.
• Over time, eye colour may change (either lighten or darken)
• This is due to different expressions of the gene which leads to different release of proteins thus a different colour!

What is a gene?
• It is a segment of DNA.
• The nucleotide sequence in the gene determines the protein formed thus the hereditary trait.
• Since there are four different nucleotides, for a gene made up of n nucleotides, there are 4n different combinations of nucleotides.

• The DNA template is first transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule through a process called transcription.
• Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell. During transcription, the DNA codons in the gene are converted into RNA codons.
• The mRNA molecule is then translated into polypeptides through the process of translation.
• Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Translation
• Attachment of the mRNA to a ribosome is the start of the translation process.
• The codons on the mRNA tells the cell what amino acids to attach together and in what order.

• Attachment of mRNA with ribosome• mRNA is then read by codons (every 3 bases)• Bases found on mRNA will be complementary to tRNA
(transfer) bases.• Thus, formation of polypeptide chain begins with
bonding of other tRNA (different amino acids).• Polypeptide chain elongates with reading of every 3
bases on mRNA by ribosome.• It will elongate till it reaches the termination codon
found on mRNA. • Once completed, ribosome shall release mRNA and
protein is released into cytoplasm for processing.
