DNA Replication

DNA Replication. Process by which the DNA is copied to make an exact copy of the original. Required step before cell division. Each strand of the DNA molecule has all the information needed to build the other half. ( Chargaff’s Rules/Base Pairing). DNA Replication . DNA Polymerase

Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA Replication

  2. Process by which the DNA is copied to make an exact copy of the original. • Required step before cell division. • Each strand of the DNA molecule has all the information needed to build the other half. (Chargaff’s Rules/Base Pairing). DNA Replication

  3. DNA Polymerase • Enzyme that joins individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule. Nucleotide • Helicase • Enzyme that unzips the DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs. Nucleotide

  4. Helicase unzips the two strands DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides
