In Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes

2. BOCA
What are the nucleotide bases for DNA?
Which bases bond together?

3. DNA replication involves making _____ from DNA.
Protein
DNA
RNA
rRNA

5. The Replication Process
Before a cell divides, it duplicates its DNA in a copying process called replication.
This process ensures that each resulting cell has the same complete set of DNA molecules.

6. Ultimately the information in DNA is used to make:
Proteins
Lipids
Carbohydrates

7. How is DNA Copied How do you make exact copies?
Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a template, or model, for the new strand
What does the structure of DNA tell you about how to copy it?

8. How is DNA Copied
Semi-Conservative

9. DNA Replication Eukaryotes
Begins at many origins
Strands must separate and unwind
Helicase, Topoisomerases, and SSB proteins
Add Primer
Primase

10. Chromosome Structure
Eukaryotic chromosome structure
DNA (linear molecule)
Histone proteins

11. Chromosome Structure Prokaryotic chromosome structure
DNA (Circular Molecule)

13. The Role Of Enzymes
The principal enzyme involved in DNA replication is called DNA polymerase.
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that joins individual nucleotides to produce a new strand of DNA.
DNA polymerase also “proofreads” each new DNA strand, ensuring that each molecule is a perfect copy of the original.

18. DNA Replication Strands separate and unwind (Helicase)
Add Primer (Primase)
Replication (DNA polymerase)
Fuse sections/fragments (DNA ligase)
New sections built 5’-3’ and anti-parallel

19. Telomeres The tips of chromosomes are known as telomeres.
The ends of DNA molecules, located at the telomeres, are particularly difficult to copy.
Over time, DNA may actually be lost from telomeres each time a chromosome is replicated.
An enzyme called telomerase compensates for this problem by adding short, repeated DNA sequences to telomeres, lengthening the chromosomes slightly and making it less likely that important gene sequences will be lost from the telomeres during replication.

20. “Leading Strand” DNA synthesis would occur in locations?
III 3’ II IV
Origin
I and II
I and III
I and IV
II and III
II and IV

21. How does DNA replication differ in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Replication in most prokaryotic cells starts from a single point and proceeds in two directions until the entire chromosome is copied.
In eukaryotic cells, replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule, proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied.

23. Replication Quiz 1. Why is replication necessary?
So both new cells will have the correct DNA
2. When does replication occur?
During interphase (S phase).
3. Describe how replication works.
Enzymes unzip DNA and complementary nucleotides join each original strand.

create the complementary strand:
A---T
G---C
