DNA

What is the result of DNA replication?

2 identical DNA strands

Why is DNA replication said to be semi-conservative?

Because the end result is ½ "old" and ½ "new" (saves part of DNA)

What molecule is it?

DNA

The process of making an identical copy of DNA is called

DNA Replication (happens in the S phase)

Step 1 of DNA replication

Enzymes break the bonds between base pairs

Step 2 of DNA replication

Enzymes help find complementary bases and bind the according to base-pairing rules (A-T, C-G)

Steps of DNA replication is called

Semi-Conservative Replication (because part of the molecule is conserved/saved)

What would the chromosome to the right be called after DNA replication?

Sister chromatids

What is DNA's purpose?

Store and transmit the instructions for making proteins

DNA gets copied during a process called replication. When does this happen?

Synthesis phase of interphase

Step 3 of DNA replication

Two identical DNA molecules are formed, each with an "old" strand and a "new" strand.

Where can DNA be found in a prokaryotic cell?

cytoplasm

Why is DNA replication necessary?

every cell has all of the DNA

DNA Replication ensures that each new cell will have

exactly the same DNA as the original cell

When a cell is ready to divide, it must

irst copy its DNA

DNA Replication

make an identical copy of DNA

Where can DNA be found in a eukaryotic cell?

nucleus
