What is Replication?. :W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI What is Replication?. In replication Two identical daughter DNA molecules are made from a single DNA molecule.
This is an uneque feature in DNA.
No other biological molecule do so.
Slide 3:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Two coplementary polynecleotide strands are joined by hydrogen bonds
To make a DNA molecule.
Slide 4:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI During replication the following steps are occurred.
DNA molecule unwind
The hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs break
Two strands are separated from each other
Each single strand act as a template for a new complementary strand.
Complementary nucleotides are assembled alongside each strand.
Sugar-phosphate backbone is formed by phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides
Once this had occurred along the whole length of the each strand two identical molecules of DNA are formed.
Slide 5:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Hydrogen bonds break Two strands separate 1 2
Slide 6:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Complementary bases assemble alongside each strand
Slide 7:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Each strand make their complementary strand
Slide 8:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Two identical DNA molecules are formed
Let us animate the process of replication :W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Let us animate the process of replication
Slide 10:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI
Slide 11:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI H bonds break Two strands seperate
Slide 12:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Sugar phosphate backbone is made by joining the adjcent nucleotides ( DNA polymarase enzyme( ) ) Nucleotides with Complementary bases are assembled alongside each strands
Slide 13:W.B.K.HETTIARACHCHI Two identical DNA molecules are formed
