DNA Replication
What Are DNA and Genes? Watch the video and then answer the questions below. How does this video describe a gene? What is a genome? What makes each person unique? Build a DNA Molecule Click on this question and play around with the "Build a DNA molecule" interactive by adding 10DNA nucleotides to. Then, scroll down the page and read "Molecular Machines Copy DNA" and answer the two questions that follow. Replicating DNA using the method you did in the interactive it would take 95 years to replicate your DNA in one cell. How does a cell speed up the process of replication? How long does it take a typical cell to copy a set of human DNA? 1-2 hours 3-4 hours 6-8 hours Watch the Amoeba Sisters Video on DNA Replication In your own words describe DNA replication using several steps. The enzymes responsible for adding nucleotides to the exposed DNA template bases are replicases. helicases. DNA Polymerases None of the above Enzymes called _ are responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds that hold the complementary strands together. replicases helicases DNA Polymerases none of the above The sequence of bases in one strand of DNA is written below.What will the sequence be in the complementary strand?Write the complimentary bases on the right column. sequence of bases in one strand of DNA complimentary strand?
