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 [...]
Study notes on Fidelity of Replication! Fidelity of replication means the faithful replication of DNA and the production of accurate daughter DNA using the parental DNA as a template. The accuracy of DNA replication is critical to cell reproduction. To produce a sequence of bases in the DNA of a daughter cell which is identical to that in the parent, [...]
Explanations on Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid and Ribose Nucleic Acid. Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA): Watson and Crick (1953) have proposed a model for the structure of DNA molecule which is now usually accepted by all. According to this model called as Watson Crick Model, the DNA molecule is a double helix structure consisting of two long polynucleotide chains coiled round each [...]
