First the DNA splits down the middle. But, it does not replicate itself on its own, once broken apart the RNA comes into play and latches onto one DNA strand. Because the chemicals (TCAG) on DNA can only pair with their respective other chemical (T's pair with A's and G's pair with C's), when the RNA detaches the cell produces these chemicals to pair up with the RNA, thus having an exact copy of the original DNA.
What else can I help you with?
How does the cell replicate DNA?
Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.
What stage DNA replicate?
S Phase of Interphase
How does the DNA replicate?
sperm
Where does DNA replicate?
in the ribosome
How do base pairing work in a cell?
The pairing of bases allows the cells to replicate.
What Has the unique ability among types of organic molecules to replicate?
Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, have the unique ability among types of organic molecules to replicate. This process allows genetic information to be passed on from one generation to the next and ensures the continuity of life.
What has its own DNA independent of nuclear DNA?
Mitochondria have their own DNA independent of nuclear DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is circular and contains genes that are essential for the mitochondria to function in energy production. This separate DNA allows mitochondria to replicate and produce energy within the cell.
Does DNA replicate itself?
Yes
Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?
The DNA only needs to replicate if the cell is going to divide. In a dividing cell the DNA must replicate in order to provide a complete copy of the genome to each new cell.
Why are mitochondria able to reproduce themselves?
Mitochondria have their own DNA and the machinery to replicate it. This allows them to reproduce independently of the cell's nuclear DNA. This ability likely originated from their evolution as separate organisms that were later engulfed by eukaryotic cells.
What is the rule of DNA polymerase in replication?
DO NOT replicate it
Why is it necessary the cell copies its DNA?
cells must copy their DNA to replicate
