Document Summary

Semi-conservative: the double helix opens, and new strands synthesize to create 2 strands, the only type that appears to be biologically significant. Conservative: the one double helix is completely intact, and the new double helix is completely from new nucleotides. Dispersive: mixture of both new and old strands. Dna synthesis occurs in 5" to 3" direction! Alpha, beta, and gamma (phosphate groups): alpha is the one that stays, beta and gamma are the ones that are removed (the pyrophosphates) Eukaryotes are slower at replicating dna because they are more complex. Replication fork where the antiparallel dna strands replicate. Leading strand can start replication at the first nucleotide: continuously made. Lagging strand has to open up to begin replication (is not able to replicate on the first nucleotide because of the 5" to 3" direction: discontinuously made (okazaki fragments) Helicase a protein that unwinds the dna helix.
