DNA Replication
Launch
Subject: General Bio
Chromosome
Chromosomes carry genetic info in cells, made of DNA and proteins. Most cells have paired chromosomes from each parent. Genes provide instructions for making important molecules arranged in a specific order on the chromosome at a locus. Chromosomes pass traits between generations.
DNA Template
A DNA template is a molecule used as a blueprint to create a new complementary DNA strand. During replication, original strands separate, and new strands are synthesized using each original strand as a template.
DNA Polymerase
DNA polymerase is an enzyme important for DNA replication and repair. It creates new complementary strands using each original strand as a template.
Helicase
DNA helicase is an enzyme that plays a critical role in DNA replication by unwinding the double helix structure of DNA. During DNA replication, the double-stranded DNA molecule is unwound by DNA helicase at the replication fork.
Lagging strand
During DNA replication, the lagging strand is the DNA strand that is synthesized in the opposite direction of the replication fork.
Leading strand
During DNA replication, the leading strand is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously in the same direction as the replication fork.
Replication fork
The replication fork is a Y-shaped structure formed when DNA strands separate. DNA helicase splits strands, enabling DNA polymerase to add nucleotides to form new DNA.
