The Intricate Process of DNA Replication: Unraveling the Genetic Blueprint

DNA replication is a vital semi-conservative process where the DNA molecule unwinds and a template strand guides the synthesis of a new complementary strand. Enzymes like DNA Helicase and DNA Gyrase play crucial roles in this complex process. Learn more about the process of DNA replication here.

Presentation Transcript

  1. :P The Process of DNA Replication

  2. Unwinding the DNA molecule DNA replication is a semi-conservative process. One strand serves as the template for the second strand. DNA replication is initiated at a region on a chromosome called an origin of replication. An enzyme called DNA Helicase binds to the origin and unwinds the DNA in both directions from the origin. DNA Gyraserelieves the starin that this generates. Helicase

  3. Making new DNA Strands RNA polymerase reads the exposed nucleotides and produces an RNA primer (approximately 10 nucleotides in length). RNA primers are produced by enzyme primase, which bind to the DNA. The DNA polymerase then binds and begins to synthesize the DNA complementary to the parental strand.
