BISC105 Lecture 10: Lecture 10- Part II Notes: 10/4/16
Document Summary
Replication begins at different sites on the chromosomes (origins of replication or initiation sites) Several enzymes involved- an enzyme unwinds the helix by breaking h-bonds between bases, separating strands. Dna polymerase reads the nucleotide sequence separated strands and inserts complementary nucleotides in 5" to 3". New strand continuous on one strand, short stretches on the other strand. Short stretched joined together by dna ligase to make a longer strand. Dna is not the direct template- an intermediate is involved (cannot make proteins on their own) A: transcription (the process by which dna makes rna) B: translation (the process by which rna makes proteins) Central or genetic dogma- the flow of information in the cell: replication b.
