PPT-DNA Structure and Replication

Biology for Majors Structure of DNA The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides Each nucleotide is made up of a sugar a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base The sugar is deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. GO TO . BIOINTERACTIVE WEBSITE. DNA replication questions. Why is DNA replication so important?. In what part of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?. What enzyme brings in the new DNA nucleotides that form complimentary pairs with the old DNA strand?. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN. -process of DNA making copies . -role of enzymes in copying DNA. -leading and lagging strands in DNA replication. READING Q. ’. s . 1-LIST:. -the 3 phases of semi-conservative replication. DNA Structure. The discovery of the structure. Francis Crick and James Watson. The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is the genetic blueprint for each cell and ultimately the blueprint that determines every characteristic of a living organism. The DNA molecule was discovered in 1951 by Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins using X-ray diffraction. . Models of DNA replication: Meselson-Stahl Experiment. DNA synthesis and elongation. DNA polymerases. Origin and initiation of DNA replication. Prokaryote/eukaryote models (circular/linear chromosomes). Chapter . 7.2. Processing of Genetic Material. What is DNA Replication. The process by which the DNA within a cell makes exact copies of itself. Balance of speed and accuracy. Used for growth, repair and embryonic development. Learning Objectives. What happens during DNA replication?. How is a new polynucleotide strand formed?. Why is DNA replication known as ‘semi-conservative’?. Putting What We’ve Learnt So Far In To Context.... The function of DNA in the cells is to. preserve genetic information.. transfer genetic information to new cells as the strands of DNA are copied.. DNA Replication. In . DNA replication. ,. the strands in the original or parent DNA molecule separate to allow the synthesis of complementary DNA strands.. DNA REPLICATION. DNA IS COPIED. 1. DURING .
