The Process of DNA Replication
This video explains the process of DNA replication and the synthesis of new DNA strands.
00:00:06 This video explains how DNA replicates and carries genetic information. It shows the structure of a DNA molecule and the process of complementary base pairing during replication.
💡 DNA is a nucleic acid that carries genetic information and can be replicated.
🔗 A DNA molecule consists of two polynucleotide chains that form a double helix through complementary base pairing.
🧬 During DNA replication, the hydrogen bonds between the bases break and the two DNA strands separate.
00:01:12 DNA replication is a process where each DNA strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA strand, resulting in two identical DNA molecules.
💡 DNA replication involves the synthesis of new DNA strands using existing strands as templates.
🧬 DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA strands.
✨ The resulting DNA molecules are identical to the original molecules, with each containing one original strand and one new strand.
