The Process of DNA 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.

💡 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.
