DNA replicates as part of cell division, during which it is (obviously) replicating itself in the process known as mitosis.
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand at the replication fork during the process of DNA replication.
DNA is copied during a process called DNA replication. This process occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves making an exact copy of the original DNA molecule. DNA replication is essential for cell division and passing genetic information from one generation to the next.
A cell's DNA is copied during replication.
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication.
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.
During DNA replication, replication bubbles form when the DNA double helix unwinds and separates into two strands. Enzymes called helicases unwind the DNA, creating a replication fork where new DNA strands can be synthesized. This process allows for multiple replication bubbles to form along the DNA molecule, enabling efficient and accurate replication.
The enzyme that removes RNA primers during DNA replication is called DNA polymerase I.
DNA replication occurs during the S stage of interphase. The S means synthesis and refers to the synthesis of new DNA during DNA replication.
The Ligase connects nucleotides together during DNA replication.
DNA polymerase exclusively travels in the 5' to 3' direction during the process of DNA replication.
DNA replication produces a copy of the DNA. At the same time the cell in which the DNA is to be found splits into two with a copy of the DNA in each. DNA replication is caused by cell replication during the process of mitosis.
Prokaryotic DNA replication has a single origin of replication, leading to two replication forks. In contrast, eukaryotic DNA replication has multiple origins of replication, resulting in multiple replication forks forming along the DNA molecule.
