1. DNA and Replication
12. Replication Facts
•DNA has to be copied before a celldivides (before mitosis)
•New cells will need identical DNA
strands
•Replication of DNA is copying of
DNA

3. Semiconservative Model of Replication
• Idea presented by Watson & Crick• The two strands of the parental
molecule separate, and each acts as a
template for a new complementary
strand
• New DNA consists of 1 PARENTAL (original) and 1
NEW strand of DNA

7. DNA Replication
• Begins at Origins of Replication• Two strands open forming Replication
Forks (Y-shaped region)
• New strands grow at the forks

9. DNA Replication
• Before new DNA strands can form,there must be RNA primers present
to start the addition of new
nucleotides
• Primase is the enzyme that
synthesizes the RNA Primer
• DNA polymerase can then add the
new nucleotides

10. DNA Replication
• DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3’end of the DNA
• This causes the NEW strand to be built in a 5’ to 3’
direction

12. Synthesis of the New DNA Strands
• The Lagging Strand is synthesizeddiscontinuously against overall direction of
replication
• This strand is made in MANY short segments
It is replicated from the replication fork
toward the origin

• Okazaki Fragments - series of short segments onthe lagging strand
• Must be joined together by an enzyme
