DNA replication

DNA replication. The discovery of DNA’s structure by Watson and Crick provided evidence that complementary base pairing was key to DNA’s ability to replicate. Scientists proposed that DNA “unzipped” as hydrogen bonds between base pairs were broken.

Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA replication The discovery of DNA’s structure by Watson and Crick provided evidence that complementary base pairing was key to DNA’s ability to replicate. Scientists proposed that DNA “unzipped” as hydrogen bonds between base pairs were broken. New polynucleotide strands could then be synthesized using the originals as a template. Several hypotheses were proposed as to the specific mechanism by which new strands are created.
