Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA Replication Honors Biology

  2. A will always bond with T • C always bonds with G • It is estimated that humans have more than 3 billion base pairs in each cell. DNA Base Pairing

  3. Structure of DNA

  4. Replication of DNA occurs to create new stands of DNA or to correct or replace mutated DNA. DNA Replication

  5. DNA replication starts with an enzyme called Helicase, The Helicase separatesthe Hydrogen bondsthat are in between the two complementary bases. This acts like a zipper DNA REPLICATION

  6. The DNA polymerase binds to a single strain of the old (parent) DNA, and uses it as a template to makes a new chain. • The result is a new strain that is half old half new.
