DNA Replication • Replication = DNA copies itself exactly • (Occurs within the nucleus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdDkiRw1PdU
A. Facts of DNA Replication 1. Complementary base pairing rule: C - G A - T
A. Basic Facts of DNA Replication 2. One side of DNA molecule is a template for making the other side (strand)
B. Process of DNA Replication 1st -Uncoil & unzip DNA molecule Enzyme Helicase breaks the weak hydrogenbonds
B. Process of DNA Replication Next the Enzyme Polymerase adds complementary Nitrogen-bases
Replication Animation C - G A- T
C. Semi-conservative replication • Each new DNA molecule contains one old strand & one new strand
