DNA Replication Process

DNA Replication Process

1. Double stranded DNA unwinds via helicase
2. Where the two unwound stands originate is referred to as the replication fork
3. The new strand is formed by pairing complementary bases with the old strand
4. In the end two DNA molecules are made with the use of RNA primers and DNA Polymerase, with finished molecule each having one new and one old DNA strand which is referred to as “Semi-Conservative”

This video covers the entire process and necessary components for DNA to go through the replication process. A description of the semi-conservative replication steps is provided. Important vocabulary such as Helicase, Annealing, 5', 3', DNA Polymerase, RNA Primer, and DNA Ligase are all covered. So, be sure to pause and review when necessary as you being to develop a greater understanding (and hopefully appreciation) of the DNA replication process.

The sound guality is rough and I can't continue watching bc of this.
