initiation

elongation

termination

27
Q

phases of DNA replications:

initiation (what is it)

A

starting of the process

bringing together all the necessary enzymes to replicate DNA

28
Q

phases of DNA replications:

elongation (what is it)

A

actual process of replicating the DNA

29
Q

phases of DNA replications:

termination (what is it)

make sure the process is appropriately stopped

30
Q

semiconservative DNA replication:

step 1:

A

old DNA strands are separated

H-bonds are broken

31
Q

semiconservative DNA replication:

step 2:

A

each old DNA strand is used as a template for a new DNA strand (Semiconservative Replication)

32
Q

semiconservative DNA replication:

step 3:

A

the new DNA molecules are 1/2 old strand and 1/2 new strand

33
Q

initiating DNA replication:

replication complex (RC) – what is it

A

large complex containing the enzymes needed to replicate DNA, interacts w/ the DNA

34
Q

initiating DNA replication:

where do RCs bind to the DNA to begin replication?

A

origin of replication

35
Q

initiating DNA replication:

origin of replication (ori) – what is it

A

sequences of DNA where replication begins

36
Q

initiating DNA replication:

why do eukaryotic chromosomes have thousands of oris?

A

eukaryotic chromosomes are very big

multiple oris allow for a much faster replication process

37
Q

chromosomes get copied beginning at several ori’s ___

A

simultaneously

38

39
Q

___ get copied beginning at several ori’s simultaneously

41
Q

chromosomes get copied beginning at several ori’s simultaneously:

(steps)
