What sites separate and replicate in DNA?
replication forks separate and replicate DNA
Why must two strands of parental DNA separate?
in order to replicate to create more DNA. this is required in order to make more cells
What Has the unique ability among types of organic molecules to replicate?
DNA
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.
What stage DNA replicate?
S Phase of Interphase
What sites separate and replicate in DNA?
replication forks separate and replicate DNA

What Has the unique ability among types of organic molecules to replicate?
DNA
DNA molecules that can replicate independently of the main chromosomes of bacteria known as?
Plasmids
Circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently are called?
Circular DNA that can replicate on their own are called plasmids. In the field of biotechnology, plasmids are of great importance. Mitochondria also has some of its own DNA.
What has to happen in order for DNA to replicate itself?
it has to have the same features
How does the cell replicate DNA?
Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.
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.
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.
Circular extra genomic DNA is called?
A circular band of DNA that exists separate of chromosomal DNA is called a plasmid. Plasmids reside within bacteria cells and can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA.
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not a characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule?
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
Do DNA histones and DNA molecules separate during mitosis?
Yes, and just about as fast as they later recombine.
