67 DNA Replication

Today you'll need to do some research about how DNA makes perfect copies (replicates) of itself.


If you are still totally confused about DNA structure, check out the DNA stuff at the adaptive curriculum website


Getting started - watch this video:
http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/dna/DNAi_replication_vo1.html
To answer the following questions, you can refer to the above video, or find some other source(s)
here, or look elsewhere!  http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/dna/animations.html


Please answer the following questions, and be sure to include your source(s)
1.  What is DNA replication?
2.  What is the name of the enzyme that unwinds/splits the DNA double helix?
3.  Draw an example of how by using each strand of the DNA, you can make two perfect copies.  (Use a sequence of at least 10 base pairs)  look here for some suggestions
