cytogen replication Flashcards
transfer of important information in the biological system
central dogma
producing two identical copies of the original DNA
DNA replication
two original DNA strand, (parental of “all old” strands)
Conservative replication
Both double DNAs would include one parental or “old” strand and one daughter or ‘new’ strand
Semi-Conservative Replication
After replication both copies of the new DNA would somehow lave alternating segment of parental DNA and newly-synthesized DNA on each of their two strands.
Dispersive Replication
initiates in a site called origin of replication
Initiating DNA replication
2 hydrogen bond
AT part
3 hydrogen bonds
GC part
A protein known as DNA helicase attaches to and breakes apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strand thereby pulling apart the two strands.
