Dna replication

What is DNA replication. When & where does the process occur. Learn how & why DNA is replicated. Also, learn the replication steps in order with a labeled diagram.

(Art by Armin Mortazavi) If the letters in the human genome, your DNA code, were a book, it would take a person typing 60 words per minute, 8 hours a day, around 50 years to copy the 3 billion base pairs. This incredible task of replicating all the genetic material in a cell must be

DNA Replication has three steps - Initiation, Elongation, and Termination. Multiple enzymes are used to complete this process quickly and efficiently.

The process of producing two identical replicas from one original DNA molecule is called DNA replication. DNA Replication requires a number of enzymes, proteins, and DNA sequences that function together to synthesize a new DNA molecule. These components are important but lets not get so immersed in the details of the process that we lose sight of the general principles of the replication. 1. Replication is always semicoservative. 2. Replication begins at the sequences called origins. 3. DNA…
