“It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulatedimmediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic

9. Copying DNA
Replication of DNAbase pairing allows
each strand to serve
as a template for a
new strand
new strand is 1/2
parent template &
1/2 new DNA

Where does energy for bonding usually come from?We come
with our own
