What is birectional replication in DNA?
A DNA molecule has two complementary strands, the top (leading) one is 5' to 3' and the bottom (lagging) one is 3' to 5'. The 5' carbon has a phosphate group linked to it and the 3' carbon has a hydroxyl group. During replication, both strands get replicated however DNA strands due to their molecular structure can only be replicated from 5' to 3' so the lagging strand is replicated in 5' to 3' pieces called Okazaki fragments. However, even with this, replication still happens in both strands, even if in the same direction (5' to 3').
What will happen during DNA replication?
You DNA will be replicated
WHEN ARE CHROMOSOME (DNA) REPLICATED?
Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
Is DNA replication conservative or semi conservative?
Semi conservative. The double strand splits into two strands and then a strand is replicated from the template of the two strands constructing four total strands. Two original and two copies.
What is bi-directional replication of DNA?
Bi-directional replication of DNA means that the DNA is being replicated in two directions.
How many strands are there at the beginning of DNA replication?
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
What is a y-shahped point that results when the two strands of a DNA doble helix separate so that the DNA moecule can be replicated?
Replication Fork

How many individual DNA strands exists after one molecule of DNA has been replicated?
4
DNA replication is semi-conservative. What does this mean?
When DNA is replicated, the new double-strand contains one old strand and one new strand. This means that one of the old strands has been conserved, making DNA replication semi-conservative.

Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
Is DNA replication conservative or semi conservative?
Semi conservative. The double strand splits into two strands and then a strand is replicated from the template of the two strands constructing four total strands. Two original and two copies.
What happens During replication DNA .?
During DNA replication the following occurs: 1) An enzyme called helicase separates the DNA strands (the space where they separate is called the replication fork). 2) DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the separated strand of DNA. 3) The DNA polymerase enzyme finishes adding nucleotides and there are two identical DNA molecules.
What is bi-directional replication of DNA?
Bi-directional replication of DNA means that the DNA is being replicated in two directions.
When are chromosome replicated?
Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
How are individual DNA strands are constructed?
DNA replication duplicates the DNA strands. This process is accompanied by various enzymes such as DNA polymerase, Helicase, Topoisomerase.In labs they are constructred by Polymerase chain reaction(PCR).
