1. Topic: Replication of DNA Standard: Explain the role of DNA in storing and transmitting cellular information

2. 2/4/14 How do you distinguish between DNA and RNA? How do you distinguish between DNA and RNA?

3. When & why does DNA have to replicate? Replicates during Interphase inside of the nucleus Replicates during Interphase inside of the nucleus Replicates so that there will be enough genetic information for the cell to divide Replicates so that there will be enough genetic information for the cell to divide Called Called“semi-conservative”replication

4. Semi-conservative replication (p. 333) 3 Phases 3 Phases –Unwinding –Base Pairing –Joining

5. DNA Replication: Step 1: Unwinding DNA helicase unwinds the DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases DNA helicase unwinds the DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases 2 single strands of 2 single strands of DNA remain

6. DNA Replication: Step 2: Base Pairing DNA polymerase catalyzes the addition of new base pairs DNA polymerase catalyzes the addition of new base pairs New base pairs are added to the end of the new DNA strand New base pairs are added to the end of the new DNA strand This way, the new strands of DNA are identical to the old ones This way, the new strands of DNA are identical to the old ones

7. DNA Replication: Step 2: Base Pairing One strand is the leading strand and the other is the lagging strand One strand is the leading strand and the other is the lagging strand The lagging strand The lagging strand is broken up into Okazaki fragments by DNA polymerase

8. DNA Replication: Step 2: Base Pairing The leading and lagging strands add new bases in opposite directions The leading and lagging strands add new bases in opposite directions Over all the Over all the direction of replication is the same

9. DNA Replication: Step 3: Joining Sections where DNA replication is complete finally join (bubbles fill in) Sections where DNA replication is complete finally join (bubbles fill in) Uses DNA Ligase to help seal the DNA strands Uses DNA Ligase to help seal the DNA strands
