Overview & Key Concepts
Chapter Goal : Explore molecular basis of heredity from DNA's role as genetic material to its replication, expression, code, translation, mutations, repair, and regulation. Exam Focus: Experiments (Griffith, Avery, Hershey-Chase), semi-conservative replication, central dogma, triplet code, wobble hypothesis, lac operon. 2025 Updates: Integration with genomics, CRISPR repair, biotech applications in gene therapy. Fun Fact: DNA's double helix was proposed in 1953, solving Chargaff's rules. Core Idea: DNA stores/transmits info via precise processes. Real-World: Vaccines (mRNA translation), cancer (mutation repair failure). Ties: Links to biomolecules (Ch3), principles of inheritance (Ch6). Expanded: All subtopics (7.1-7.9) covered point-wise with diagram descriptions, steps for processes like replication forks.Wider Scope : From classical experiments confirming DNA to modern regulation; central dogma (DNA→RNA→Protein); exceptions like RNA viruses.Expanded Content : Detailed experiments, mechanisms (e.g., Okazaki fragments), code degeneracy, operons; biotech relevance in cloning, editing.
Fig. 7.1: Griffith’s transformation experiment (Description)
Four setups: Live R (survives), Live S (dies), Heat-killed S (survives), Heat-killed S + Live R (dies, live S found). Visual: Mice icons, bacterial colonies (smooth/rough).
7.1 DNA as the Genetic Material
Introduction : Traits inherited via genes on chromosomes (DNA+proteins); challenge: Identify genetic material (DNA vs. protein).Historical Context : Miescher (1869) isolated nuclein (DNA+protein) from pus cells nuclei.7.1.1 Discovery of the Transforming Principle (Griffith, 1928) :
Streptococcus pneumoniae: Virulent S (smooth, capsulated, kills mice) vs. non-virulent R (rough, no capsule, harmless).
Experiments: Live S → death; Live R → survival; Heat-killed S → survival; Heat-killed S + Live R → death with live S in blood.
Conclusion: R transformed to S by 'transforming principle' from dead S (genetic transfer altering makeup).
7.1.2 Biochemical Characterisation (Avery, MacLeod, McCarty, 1944) :
Extract from heat-killed S: Removed lipids/carbs; retained protein, RNA, DNA.
Treated extracts: Protease (degrades protein) → transformation; RNase (RNA) → transformation; DNase (DNA) → no transformation.
Conclusion: DNA is transforming principle (genetic material).
7.1.3 Hershey-Chase Experiment (1952) :
T2 bacteriophage (infects E. coli): DNA (32P-labeled) vs. protein coat (35S-labeled).
Infection: Blended to remove phage parts; centrifuged (bacteria pellet, supernatant debris).
Results: 32P in pellet (DNA entered); 35S in supernatant (protein outside).
Conclusion: DNA directs phage reproduction (genetic material).
Further Evidence : Chargaff (A=T, G=C); Wilkins/Franklin X-rays; Watson/Crick model (Ch3) explains info storage.
Fig. 7.2: Confirmation of transforming principle (Description)
Flowchart: Heat-killed S extract → Remove lipids/sugars → Add enzymes (Protease/RNase: Transformation; DNase: No). Visual: Bacterial colonies smooth/rough.
Fig. 7.3: Hershey-Chase experiment (Description)
Two paths: 35S-protein (red capsule, no sulfur in cells post-centrifuge); 32P-DNA (green, phosphorus in cells). Steps: Infection, blending, centrifugation.
7.2 Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Gene Organisation
Prokaryotes : No nucleus; circular dsDNA in nucleoid; large size accommodated by supercoiling (negative: opposite helix twist).Supercoiling : Twisting like rubber band coils; proteins (HU histone-like) condense DNA.Plasmids : Extra small circular DNA loops (non-essential, e.g., antibiotic resistance).Eukaryotes : Linear dsDNA in nucleus; packaging via histones (basic proteins).Nucleosomes : DNA (acidic) wraps 1.65 turns around H2A-H2B-H3-H4 octamer (146 bp); linker DNA (H1 histone) connects 'beads-on-string'.Packaging Levels : 10 nm beads → 30 nm solenoid fibre → 300 nm looped scaffold → 700 nm metaphase chromosome.Genome Size : Eukaryotes larger/complex (e.g., humans 3 Gb vs. bacteria 4 Mb); much non-coding/unexpressed DNA.Gene Definition : DNA segment with promoter; transcribes mRNA for translation (universal mechanism).Eukaryotic Genes : Introns (non-coding) spliced from primary transcript; exons join for mature mRNA (e.g., β-globin).
Fig. 7.4: Supercoiling of DNA in Prokaryote (Description)
Axis with DNA loop → Supercoil (coiled on itself forming superhelix). Visual: Twisted double helix.
Fig. 7.5: Packaging of Eukaryotic Gene (Description)

Electron micrograph: Nucleosomes (beads) on DNA string; each ~200 bp (146 wrapped + linker).
Fig. 7.7: Genome size variations (Description)
Log scale bar graph: Viruses (10^3 bp) to mammals (10^9 bp); plants largest (10^12 bp). Units: Base pairs to Mb.
7.3 DNA Replication
Semi-Conservative Model : Meselson-Stahl (1958): E. coli in 15N → 14N; density gradients show hybrid DNA (one old/one new strand).Enzymes : Helicase (unwinds), SSB (stabilizes), Topoisomerase (relieves tension), Primase (RNA primer), DNA Pol III (adds nucleotides 5'→3'), Pol I (removes primer), Ligase (joins Okazaki).Steps : Origin → Bubble/forks → Leading (continuous) vs. Lagging (discontinuous, Okazaki fragments 100-200 nt) → Proofreading (3'→5' exonuclease).Key Points : Bidirectional; 50 Svedberg units; error rate 10^-9 with repair.
Fig. 7.8: Replication Fork (Description - Inferred)
Helix unwinds at fork; leading strand continuous, lagging with primers/Okazaki; enzymes labeled.
7.4 Gene Expression
Central Dogma : DNA → Transcription → RNA → Translation → Protein (reverse in retroviruses).Transcription : RNA Pol binds promoter (TATA box); initiation-elongation-termination; prokaryotes single Pol, eukaryotes three (Pol II for mRNA).Processing (Eukaryotes) : 5' cap, poly-A tail, intron splicing (snRNP spliceosome).
7.5 Genetic Code
Triplet Non-Overlapping : 64 codons (4^3) for 20 AA + start (AUG)/stop (UAA/UGA).Properties : Degenerate (multiple codons/AA), unambiguous, universal (minor exceptions), comma-free.Wobble Hypothesis : 3rd base flexible (e.g., U pairs G/A).
Fig. 7.9: Genetic Code Table (Description - Inferred)
64-box table: Codons to AA; AUG Met/start, stops marked.
7.6 Translation
Ribosome : 70S prokaryote (30S+50S); tRNA anticodon matches codon.Steps : Initiation (AUG + Met-tRNA + factors), Elongation (AA addition, translocation), Termination (release factors).Energy : GTP/ATP; polyribosomes for efficiency.
Fig. 7.10: Translation Cycle (Description - Inferred)
Ribosome sites (A/P/E); tRNA entry, peptide bond, shift.
7.7 Gene Mutation
Types : Point (substitution/insertion/deletion), frameshift, transversion/transition.Effects : Missense (AA change), nonsense (premature stop), silent (synonymous).Causes : Spontaneous (tautomerism), induced (UV, chemicals).
7.8 DNA Repair
Mechanisms : Photoreactivation (light enzyme), Excision (nucleotide/base, NER/BER), Mismatch (post-replication), Recombination.Key : Proofreading during replication; xeroderma pigmentosum (NER defect).
7.9 Regulation of Gene Expression
Prokaryotes : Lac operon (inducible: lactose induces, repressor binds operator; CAP activator).Eukaryotes : Enhancers/silencers, chromatin remodeling, miRNA, transcription factors.Levels : Transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, post-translational.
Fig. 7.11: Lac Operon (Description - Inferred)
