dna replication

Question 1

what is semi conservative dna rep

Answer 1

where 2 dna copies made
both have 1 strand original and 1 strand of new nucleotides

Question 2

process semi conservative rep

Answer 2

1) DNA helicase breaks the H bonds between bases allowing DNA to unzip and unwind
2) strands act as templates and new complementary DNA nucleotides attach to the exposed bases
3) A-T , C-G.
H bonds form between the pairs
4) DNA polymerase helps form the phosphodiester bonds between each nucleotide forming sugar phosphate backbone

5) have 2 identical copied with both composed one original strand and one new strand
