slide.
Watson and Crick were
able to figure out that
one strand went up and
one went down.
Watson and Crick also
found that if they paired
Thymine with Adenine and
Guanine with Cytosine
DNA would look uniform.

• The back story of our lives are that we are the
product of billions of years of evolution. The
very DNA that allows us to pass on our
genetic information to our offspring has its
roots in primitive microbes that existed billions
of years ago.

• Question! How long is the DNA chain inside of
a cell?
– Take your best guess.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer: The DNA in cells can hold lots of
information and are very long.
– Each cell has about 1.8 meters (6 feet) of
DNA.

–Note: Should probably be the other way around.
RNA likely evolved long before DNA.
–One suggestion is this: cytosine (C) occasionally converts into uracil (U) by
deamination. If this U is not removed, at the next replication it will act as a
template for an adenine (A) on the new strand, and there will have been a
mutation from G to A. Having thymine (T) as the regular base in DNA makes it
easy for a cell to spot a deamination, because U should not be there at all.
The cell then removes the U with a DNA repair enzyme (e.g. uracil
glycosylase).
–Do you want to know why Thymine replaces
Uracil in DNA?
–The short and sweet explanation is under this box.
