DNA Replication
This is supplemental material to Lecture #9 that I provide to students taking my Cell Biology for Health Science, HCR 118 course.
You don't need to be enrolled in this class to access the materials here. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find this material useful and is welcome to use it.
This page includes or directs you to:
- a list of learning objectives
- review questions
- practice test questions
- animation of replication
- a power point lecture
- additional articles that support the lecture material
Learning Objectives / Study Guide
o Compare features of viral, prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.
o What is DNA made of? Know the structural components.
o Understand the process of replication. (Don’t let the brief sentence fool you; this is a lot of complex info. Make sure you understand it to the level that was presented to you in the lecture PPTs).
o What does semiconservative replication mean?
o Explain how the DNA molecule is antiparallell.
o How does the antiparallell nature of DNA affect replication?
o What is a replication bubble?
o What is the difference between the lagging and the leading strand of DNA?
