DNA Replication is the Process where:
DNA is Copied in a Cell before a Cell Divides
Name the 3 Ways in Which Cells Can Divide?
1.) Mitosis (Eukaryotic Cells)
2.) Meiosis (Eukaryotic Cells)
3.) Binary Fission (Prokaryotic Cells)
In DNA Replication What Happens to the 2 Nucleotide Strands of the Original Double Helix?
They Separate Along Strands
Each of the 2 Original Strands Serve:
As a Template to Make a New Complementary Strand
In Summary What is Produced as a Result of DNA Replication?
2 Identical Double-Stranded DNA
The DNA Molecules Produced _______ and move into _______.
1.) Separate 2.) New Cells
What Enzyme is Used in the 1st Step of DNA Replication?
Helicase Enzyme
Helicases Enzymes Separate:
DNA Strands & Move Along the DNA Molecule
The Helicases Enzymes Breaks:
The Hydrogen Bonds Between the Complementary Nitrogenous Bases
The Action of Helicase Enzyme Allows:
2 DNA Strands of Double-Helix to Separate
Replication Fork is the:
Y-Shaped Region that forms when 2 Strands Separate
Helicase Enzyme Breaks Hydrogen Bonds Between ________ & __________
Purines & Pyrimidines
What Enzyme is Used in the 2nd Step of DNA Replication?
DNA Polymerase Enzyme
How is the DNA Polymerase Enzyme Function?
It Adds Complementary Nucleotides to Each of the 2 Original Strands
Where are the Nucleotides Found that DNA Polymerase Adds to the Strands?
They are Found Floating Freely Inside the Nucleus
What Bonds Forms as a Result of DNA Polymerase’s Actions?
Hydrogen & Covalent Bonds
In Step 2 Hydrogen Bonds form Between:
Complementary Nitrogenous Bases on the Original & New Strands
In Step 2 Covalent Bonds Form Between:
Adjacent Nucleotides on the Newly Formed Strand.
What of the 2 Nucleotides are Covalent Bonds Between?
The Deoxyribose Sugar of 1 Nucleotide
& the Phosphate Group of the Next Nucleotide
DNA Polymerase Finishes _________ DNA & _______ off.
1.) Replicating 2.) Fall Off
After DNA Polymerase Actions is the Result 2 Separate & Identical DNA Molecules?
YES
DNA Replication is Called _____-_______ Replicaton
Semi-Conservation
In Semi-Conservation Replication Describe the new DNA-Double Helix?
One of it’s Strands is from the Original Molecule & the Other Strand in New
Can We Say that Each of the 2 New DNA Molecules has Kept 1 of the 2 Original DNA Strands?
YES
