PPT-DNA Replication

Chapter 72 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. SC.L.16.3 . Describe . the basic process. of . DNA replication . and how it relates . to the . transmission . and . conservation. of . the genetic information. DNA and Its structure. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a large organic. 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. . Objectives:. 1. Summarize the roles of the different enzymes involved in replication of DNA.. 2. Explain how the leading and lagging strands are replicated differently . Semiconservative. Replication. 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.. Semiconservative vs. Conservative. DNA Polymerase. RNA Primase. Okazaki Fragments. Replication Errors. TeachWithFergy . Preview File. . Please . enjoy this preview of your Power Point. .

Directions: Front of card write term. On back write definition and draw picture . Chromosomes. Thread-like structure made of coiled DNA. Gene. Segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait. Nucleotide. Something to think about... When a species . reproduces. , there is . genetic continuity . maintained from one generation to the next.. WHAT . is responsible for this continuity?. HOW . does this continuity happen?. In . their 1953 announcement of a double helix structure for DNA, Watson and Crick stated, . "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.". . REPLICATION – GENERAL PRINCIPLES. START. Must be ready . Must know where to start . FINISH. Must all finish . Must ensure that each piece of DNA is replicated only once . Therefore must know where to finish . . What is DNA?. DNA is a .
