1. DNA REPLICATION

2. Up to no good Scrambled Eggs Next to nothing

3. DNA REPLICATION DNA Replication: The process by which 2 identical copies of DNA are made. Occurs during Interphase of the Cell Cycle. DNA must replicate itself before a cell divides for each new cell to have the correct amount of DNA. Target: I will be able to explain the process of DNA Replication. Pg. 99

5. Process of DNA Replication 1. The enzyme Helicase unwinds the DNA.  This starts at a fixed point.

6. 2. DNA nucleotides bond to complimentary bases (A, T, C, G)on each side of the DNA.

7. 3. DNA Polymerase joins the nucleotides in a 5’ to 3’ direction on each strand.

8. 4. DNA Polymerase proofreads the bases and fixes any mistakes.

9. When DNA replication is complete, you have two identical copies of DNA. DNA Replication Summary:

12. STAGE OF DNA REPLICATION Pg. 98 Step 4 Step 2 Step 1 Step 3 Underneath each square, explain what is happening in each stage of DNA replication. On the notebook paper beneath the square, draw a picture to represent the 4 stages of DNA Replication. Use a minimum of 4 colors and good grammar.
