What is the end product of replication?
Two molecules of DNA instead of the original one; each molecule now contains one strand from the double helix of the original molecule, and one new strand
Why must cells duplicate the DNA before entering mitosis or meiosis?
This process of replication is important, it provides a method for cells to transfer an exact duplicate of their genetic material from one generation of cell to the next. The copies of the cell are called the daughter strands, they contain half of the parent DNA molecule and half of a whole new molecule. This is called Semiconservative replication.
Where do the 2 strands of the parent DNA end up in the daughter chromosome after DNA replication?
To simplify: the DNA molecule unzips and divides into 2 strands, then the replication makes the complements of each strand to make 2 full DNA daughter chromosomes, so half the parent DNA ends up in each daughter chromosome.
What is the process by which a DNA molecule is copied called?
dna replication. can be summarised as the two helical strands of dna unravelling through the action of enzymes and the corresponding nitrogenous bases of each being matched up (A-T, C-G) to form two identical strands
Why are enzymes important to the DNA replication?
Without enzymes, DNA replication would not occur. DNA Polymerases are responsible for catalysing the bonding of nucleotides, and for replacing primers. These functions are essential for DNA replication.
Name two ways in which DNA molecule is important in the life of a cell?
DNA codes for proteins, which do all the work in the cell, and DNA replicates so that the cell can divide into 2 daughter cells.
How do the new copies of DNA compare to the original DNA?
DNA replicates using the process called semiconservative replication. An original DNA molecule is complementary to the replicated molecule, which means that they are identical copies of each other.
State why DNA replicates.?
DNA replicates so that it can make an exact copy of the DNA molecule.
The process of duplicating a DNA molecule?
replication
What is the result of the replication of one molecule?
A duplicate molecule.
After mitosis each identical daughter cell has a complete set of what?
DNA replicates before a cell divides ensures that each daughter cell has a complete set of genetic material They must have an identical set of DNA.
What is the end product of replication?
Two molecules of DNA instead of the original one; each molecule now contains one strand from the double helix of the original molecule, and one new strand
Where is a molecule split during replication?
At a specific location known as the "replication fork," DNA splits or "unzips" during replication. The split of the double-stranded DNA molecule into two single strands occurs at the replication fork. Due to this division, the replication apparatus may access and duplicate each of the single DNA strands, resulting in the creation of two identical DNA molecules that each include one original and one freshly manufactured strand. DNA replication is necessary for cell division and the genetic information transfer to daughter cells.
What is it called when DNA molecule reproduces itself?
through replication, if u have to be specific, its DNA replication
Where is the molecule split during replication?
Down the middle.
The process by which a DNA molecule copies itself?
Replication
How does the DNA molecule replicate itself?
through replication
