DNA REPLICATION Mrs. MacWilliams Academic Biology DNA Replication I. Copying the Code *"semiconservative”- each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as template for the reproduction of the complementary strand *Because each strand can be used to make the other strand, the strands are said to be complementary. DNALC DNA STRUCTURE ANIMATION DNA Replication DNA REPLICATION DNA Replication A. The Replication Process 1. Before a cell divides, it duplicates its DNA in a copying process called replication ensures each resulting cell has the same complete set of DNA 2. DNA molecule separates into two strands and produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing ***DNA IS ALWAYS COPIED FROM 3’ TO 5’ DNA Replication 3. The two strands of the double helix separate, or “unzip,” allowing two replication forks to form. 4. As each new strand forms, new bases are added following the rules of base pairing. (A-T; G-C) DNA Replication 5. The result of replication is two DNA molecules identical to each other and to the original molecule. 6. Each DNA molecule resulting from replication has one original strand and one new strand. DNA Replication B. The Role of Enzymes 1. DNA replication is carried out by a series of enzymes. 2. Helicase “unzips the helix” a molecule of DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between base pairs and unwinding the two strands of the molecule. DNA Replication 3. The principal enzyme involved in DNA replication is called DNA polymerase joins individual nucleotides to produce a new strand of DNA. “proofreads” each new DNA strand, ensuring that each molecule is a perfect copy of the original. DNALC DNA Replication Animation DNA Replication C. Telomeres 1. The tips of chromosomes are known as telomeres. 2. Particularly difficult to copy. 3. Over time, DNA may actually be lost from telomeres each time a chromosome is replicated. 4. Enzyme called telomerase compensates for this problem by adding short, repeated DNA sequences to telomeres lengthens the chromosomes slightly less likely important gene sequences will be lost DNALC Telomere interview telomeres and aging DNA Replication II. Replication in Living Cells *Cells of most prokaryotes have a single, circular DNA molecule in the cytoplasm, containing nearly all the cell’s genetic information. *Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, can have up to 1000 times more DNA. Nearly all of the DNA of eukaryotic cells is found in the nucleus. DNA Replication A. Prokaryotic DNA Replication 1. Prokaryotes DNA replication does not start until regulatory proteins bind to a single starting point on the chromosome. *This triggers the beginning of DNA replication. 2. Replication starts from a single point and proceeds in two directions until the entire chromosome is copied. DNA Replication B. Eukaryotic DNA Replication 1. Eukaryotes chromosomes are generally much bigger than those of prokaryotes. 2. Replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule, proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied. DNA Replication 3. Two copies of DNA produced by replication in each chromosome remain closely associated until the cell enters prophase of mitosis. 4. At that point, the chromosomes condense, and the two chromatids in each chromosome become clearly visible. 5. Separate from each other in anaphase of mitosis 6. At the end of mitosis/cytokinesis, two cells are produced, each with a complete set of genes coded in DNA.
