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

Is it true mitochondria are able to replicate themselves?

Yes they have own DNA. So they replicate by their own


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.


How does the cell replicate DNA?

Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.

What ia a plasmid?

Plasmids are a part of DNA but it's separate from the chromosomes. It's able to replicate and they occur in bacteria.


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.


Does DNA replicate itself?

Yes


What would happen to an organism that lost or never had the ability to replicate its DNA?

An organism that lost the ability to replicate its DNA would be unable to reproduce and pass on its genetic material to offspring, leading to its eventual extinction. If an organism never had the ability to replicate its DNA, it would not be able to grow, develop, or carry out essential biological functions necessary for survival.


What is the rule of DNA polymerase in replication?

DO NOT replicate it


Why is it important that mitochondria have their own DNA?

DNA is the genetic material.So they can self replicate.
