DNA replicationn

the process of making a copy of DNA

QuestionAnswer
Can a single strand of dna stand as a template for replication? yes it can as the strands are complimentary to each other
What is the first step in replication The double helix must unwind and the bases on one strand separate from the other bases
What is the name of the areas where the double helix separates? They are called replication forks due to the "Y" shape like a fork in the road
What is the function of the enzyme DNA Polymerase It attaches to each strand of separated DNA and "reads" each base attaching the new complimentary base according to the base pair rule
When does this process stop? When all of the Dna has been copied and the polymerases are signaled to detach
Do errors ever occur? yes they do but the DNA polymerase has the ability to "proofread" the new DNA strand. It can backtrack and correct its mistake.
About how many errors occur? about one error for every one BILLION nucliotides
