New cards

DNA Replication

The process of copying DNA to produce two identical DNA molecules from an original DNA molecule prior to cell division.

2
New cards

Helicase

The unzipping enzyme

When the helicase unzips it breaks through the hydrogen bonds that holds the dna bases together

3
New cards

DNA polymerase (builder)

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that builds a new DNA strand during DNA replication by adding complementary nucleotides to the template strand. It works in the 5′ → 3′ direction and can also proofread and correct mistakes

4
New cards

Ligase

Sealing the the Osaki fragments together


5
New cards

DNA strands

They are antiperralel as one strand goes 5’to3’ or 3to5


Lagging strand

Result in okozaki fragments


Leading strand

<p>They are antiperralel as one strand goes 5’to3’ or 3to5</p><p></p><p>Lagging strand</p><p>Result in okozaki fragments</p><p></p><p>Leading strand</p>

New cards

Semi conservative

The end result of dna replicating

The two copies contain one original dna strand and a old original strand
