semi conservatve replication defenition
process of DNA replication which each newly synthesised DNA consists of one parental strand and one newly synthesised strand
whats the 3 steps of enzymes in replication
opening and unwinding
dna synthesis
joining of DNA fragments
1st step of replication
dna helicase breaks hydrogen bonds between 2 parental strands
DNA helix unwinds forming Y shaped structures called replication forks
2nd step of replication
dna synthesis - DNA polymerase catalyses synthesis of new DNA strands using parental DNA
add nucleotides to growing DNA strand using complementary base pairing rule
3rd step of dna replication
joining of DNA fragments - formation of phosphodiester bonds between sugar and phosphate groups
one gene one protein hypothesis
suggets that each gene in DNA carries info neccessary to produce a single protein
how many bases are there
4
how many bases per codon
3
cause triplet code like CGA
how many different codons are there all in all
64
