The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Continuous and Discontinuous Replication. Difference # Continuous Replication: 1. Occurs on leading of a replication fork. 2. Starts at the beginning of replication. 3. Progresses in on direction, i.e., towards the replication fork. 4. Synthesis of DNA takes place continuously. 5. In vivo need no RNA primer. 6. Only DNA [...]
The following points highlight the four main replications of DNA. The replications are: 1. Plasmid 2. Mitochondrial DNA 3. Kinetoplast DNA 4. Chloroplast DNA. Replication # 1. Plasmid: In addition to the nucleoid DNA, the cytoplasm of bacterial cell contains one or more extra chromosomal mini-circular DNA duplexes which are known as plasmids that can replicate independently of the nucleoid [...]
In this article we will discuss about DNA Replication:- 1. Subject-Matter of DNA Replication 2. Modes of DNA Replication 3. Mechanism. Meaning of DNA Replication: One of the most important properties of DNA functioning as the genetic material is that it can make exact copies of itself (autocatalytic function) forming the basis for transmission of hereditary characters it controls. This [...]
