Document Summary

Remember dna has complementary base pairing (fig 15. 4) Dna replication is semiconservative - of old parental strand separated - each new daughter is made of one old and one new strand created based upon complementary base pairing. Each form a template for 2 new strands - Each new chromosome is composed of (fig 15. 5) Dna polymerase = enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of new dna - several types. Can only add deoxyribonucleotides to a free 3" end. Dna synthesis goes to 5" to 3" direction. A deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dntp) is added to a dna polymer -high pe. Complementary base pairing determines the nucleotide used. Phosphodiester bond forms between the carbons on the deoxyribose. Bidirectional - occurs in both directions at the same time, replication bubble grows in 2 directions as it proceeds. Dna synthesis begins at multiple sites along each chromosome.
