DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA. DNA replication during mitosis is the basis for biological inheritance. The process of DNA replication starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the production of the complementary strand‚ a process referred to as semiconservative replication.

DNA REPLICATION At the replication origin DNA helicase attaches to a strand of DNA and begins to break apart hydrogen bonds in order to unravel a section of the double helix. The section of DNA that is unwound is called the replication bubble and the “Y” shaped sections are called the replication forks. In order to stop the unwound section from binding back together‚ single strand binding proteins react with the single strand portions on the DNA causing them to stay separated. Although the leading

information on what DNA replication looks like. The sources showed me what a strand of DNA looks like as well as giving me an explanation of what occurs during DNA replication. As my model is colour coded it makes it clearer as to what is occurring during each step in DNA replication as well as what each element is. It also clarifies what the external elements are when DNA replicates i.e. helicase‚ polymerase and DNA ligase. However‚ there are also limitations to my DNA replication model. As this

DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA; it is the basis for biological inheritance. The process starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. The cell cycle (mitosis) also pertains to the DNA replication/reproduction process. The cell cycle includes interphase‚ prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the production

DNA Replication DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA. The initiation of DNA replication starts with two steps. First an initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. Then a protein called helicase attaches to and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strands‚ pulling apart the two strands. DNA replication starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule

DNA replication mechanism is an integral and the most important part of cell division. It is a complicated mechanism that requires a lot of steps and different enzymes. Many scientists were trying to understand the mechanism of DNA replication and its role in the transfer of the hereditary information to the offsprings. DNA replication begins with a single origin of replication that starts off the process by creating a replication bubble. In many eukaryotic cells‚ the DNA strand will have more than

DNA STRUCTURE AND REPLICATION One may wonder how a single cell becomes two cells‚ and why this is ultimately important to life. For this essay‚ it would be much too difficult to discuss the process of cell division‚ which is the biological basis of life. That being said‚ this essay will examine more closely the precursor to cell division‚ also known as DNA replication. DNA replication is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA strand on a chromosome within a cell. The process‚ in its totality
