DNA cannot replicate de novo (i.e. there must be a free 3' OH group to attach nucleotides to)

Replication must go from 5' to 3'

The two strands of DNA are antiparallel

Complementary base pairing

Why must the DNA In a cell replication before the cell divides?

DNA replication begins when the two sides of the DNA molecule unwind and seperate, like a zipper unzipping.


What must occur before replication can begin?

Before replication can begin, the parent cell must undergo a period of growth and DNA must be duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle. Additionally, the cell must ensure that all necessary molecules and enzymes required for replication are available.


How do the base pairing rules contribute to the feasibility of DNA replication?

The base pairing rules in DNA (A pairs with T, and C pairs with G) ensure that during replication, each strand serves as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand. This allows for accurate and efficient replication of the genetic information.


What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?

DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.


Compare the number of replication forks in prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA during replication?

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.


DNA is copied during a process called?

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.


What is the process in which DNA is separated into two strands then produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing?

DNA replication


Which job must enzymes do before replication can begin?

They must unwind part of the original DNA molecule.


The process by which a DNA molecule copies itself is called?

The process by which a DNA molecule copies itself is called DNA replication. During this process, the double-stranded DNA molecule unwinds and separates into two complementary strands, and new nucleotides are added to each strand according to base pairing rules to form two identical DNA molecules.


What does DNA replication make?

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.


What process makes a copy of a DNA molecule?

Transcription.


What must be true about DNA strands that have just been produced in DNA replication?

The strands produced have the same generic code
