Done to determine the
1 of 6
What type of DNA replication is DNA replication?
Semi-conservative - each strand of the parental double helix acts as a template for synthesis of a new daughter DNA strand.
2 of 6
What ensures that each daughter double helix is identical to the parental double helix, and each daughter cell will receive identical DNA molecules.
The base on the template strand must be identified and complementary base added.
3 of 6
What are the sites of replication called?
Origins of replication.
4 of 6
What direction does DNA replication go from initiation?
Both directions - it is bidirectional - forming a replication bubble.
5 of 6
Where is the DNA double helix opened?
It is opened at the origin of replication and unwound to form replication forks.
