DNA replication is semi-conservative i.e during replication one strand comes fron the parent and another is made complementary to it .The enzymes which helps in its duplication r collectively called REPLIOSOMES or multiple replication enzyme complex. for replication first unwinding should take place and this is done by breaking hydrogen bonding between the nitrogen bases with the help of HELICASES then SSPBs( single strand binding proteins) keep the strands in structured manner so that easy polymerisation of nucleotides should take place and finally TOPOISOMERASES introduce negative coils in the strand by introducing a nick in one of the strands and rejoins the cut again to remove tension on the strand .But It is actually with the help of DNA polymerases and RNA primer that DNA is able is able to replicate.DNA polymerases r of three types namely
DNA POLYMARASE 1: IT IS INVOLVED IN REMOVAL OF RNA PRIMER IN THE TEMPLATE STRAND OR PARENT STRAND. it should b noted that no DNA polymerase can initiate DNA replication .it is the RNA primer which initiates DNA replication .it start on adding rna which is then removed by DNA polymerase 1 .to initiate DNA replication is not easy for DNA polymerase as they can commit a lot of mistakes n hence rna primer form rna portion only to make a perfect DNA
DNA POLYMERASE2: IT IS TO REPAIR THE DNA DURING INJURY
DNA POLYMERASE3:WHICH IS THE REAL REPLICATING ENZYME
All of them have endonuclease activity in 3'-5' directionwhich help in proof reading or editing function when its frequency of making mistake is 1 out of 10,000 nucleotides.DNA formation has direction always from 5'-3' since the two strands r anti-parralel hence one(LEADING STRAND) is formed in continuous manner while other(LAGGING) in fragments called OKAZAKI FRAGMENTS
DNA
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
the DNA replicates before mitosis begins
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
mitosis
DNA
Yes they have own DNA. So they replicate by their own
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.
Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.
replication forks separate and replicate DNA
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
S Phase of Interphase
They have own circular DNA and ribosomes.So they can reproduce.
sperm
in the ribosome
For a virus to replicate it must insert its own DNA into a host nucleus cell. This newly infected cell finds another host cell to replicate, and a viral infection is produced.
Plasmids are a part of DNA but it's separate from the chromosomes. It's able to replicate and they occur in bacteria.
