DNA Replication Copying the genetic code
DNA Replication • Unpack the Chromosomes • Unzip the DNA • Base pairing at the replication fork • Leading strand vs Lagging strand Copying the genetic code
copied during cell division copy Sister Chromatids(identical copies)
Accessing the DNA DNA in use inactive DNA (deactivated or mitotic)

Releasing the Tension • Topoisomerase cleaves and uncoils DNA ahead of helicase • Single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSB) prevent DNA from coiling back up
