semi conservative replication was found by
watson and crick
explain the meselson and stahl experiment
E.coli - 20mins and 40mins
15 NH4Cl
14 NH4Cl
centrifuge - CsCl
other experiment for dna replication
Taylor and colleagues
radioactive thymidine
Vicia faba
dna polymerase rate in E.coli
4.6*10⁶ bp in 18 sec
dna polymerase rate
2000bp per sec
name a dna polymerase
deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate
uses of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate
⬛act as substrate
⬛ provide energy for polymerization
explain the mechanism of dna replication
ori
replication fork
leading strand 5to3
lagging strand (OKAZAKI STRANDS) 3to5, away from replication fork
dna ligase
okazaki fragments
discontinuous fragments in the lagging strand
failure in cell division after replication results in
polyploidy
hellicase
seperate the strands
topoisomerase
cut the strands
