Q: Describe semi-conservative replication
A segment of DNA is unwound by helicase. H-bonds between both strands are broken. Primers are laid down by primase in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA polymerase III adds complementary free nucleotides to 3' growing end.

Q: Explain How Mitosis Ensures That Cells Are Genetically Identical
During S phase of interphase, semi-conservative replication of DNA occurs. Complementary base pairing rules are adhered to (on complementary strands, A is paired with T; C is paired with G). During anaphase, sister chromatids are separated and move to...

Q: Explain Why The Two Strands Of Dna Elongate In Opposite Directions
The two strands of DNA are anti parallel. Their 5' to 3' direction is in opposite direction. As the active site of the enzyme DNA polymerase III only recognizes the 3' end of a DNA nucleotide, free nucleotides can only be added in the 3'...

Q: Compare And Contrast Dna Replication And Transcription
Similarities: Both processes occur in the nucleus. Both processes also involve specific complementary base pairing. Both processes involving the unwinding of the double helix DNA. Both processes involve forming of hydrogen bonds between the original DNA...

Dna Replication
DNA Replication?DNA can copy its self over and over again in order to keep creating for the organism it is working for. This action is called DNA replication and takes place in the cell nucleus. How does DNA replication work? The molecules of DNA...
