DNA REPLICATION COMIC STRIP Name___________________________Due Date___________Period__ Your job is to draw out the process of DNA replication and briefly describe what is happening step by step. Create a comic strip to showcase your knowledge of DNA replication. Your comic strip should include 6 panels: Panel 1: Draw a double Stranded Panel 2: Helicase unwinding DNA Panel 3: Primase adding primer DNA with 5’ to 3’ and 3’ to 5’ at the replication fork prime strands labeled. Panel 4: DNA Polymerase adding nucleotides to leading strand and DNA Polymerase adding nucleotides to lagging strand in Okazaki fragments. Panel 5: Ligase sealing together DNA Panel 6: Two DNA double helices are formed, showing semiconservative replication (show what this means). The following terms should be included in your comic strip: leading strand, lagging strand, Okazaki fragments, replication fork, DNA polymerase, Ligase, Helicase, Primase DNA REPLICATION COMIC STRIP Name____________________________Due Date________Period__ Your job is to draw out the process of DNA replication and briefly describe what is happening step by step.
