PPT-DNA Structure, Function, & Replication

Biology Unit 6 Part 2 What is DNA DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid Contains information needed for the cells growth and other activities Determines the inherited characteristics of an organism. 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. 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. . 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. . Some slides appear blank because they have been removed.. DNA REPLICATION.

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.". (Chapters 6 and 3). .
