accomplish?

Describe the process of DNA
replication
1. DNA replication occurs when a
strand of DNA is unzipped down the
middle between its hydrogen bonds.
2. When the double-stranded DNA is
unzipped, each side serves as a
template, and free nucleotides bind
to each of the single strands.
3. Two double strands of DNA are
made, each containing the same
nucleotide sequence.
4. Each is composed of one original
strand and one new strand.
Which part of the nucleic acid carries the
genetic informatin?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Deoxyribose sugars
Phosphate groups
Nitrogen bases
Hydrogen bonds
Why must DNA replication produce
two identical copies of DNA?
• DNA replication occurs in the S phase and
each daughter cell receives a complete copy
during the M phase (Mitosis).
• Since DNA is the “instructions” for making
proteins each cell needs an accurate copy so it
can perform its functions correctly.
In the cells of eukaryotic organisms, DNA is
contained in the
A.
B.
C.
D.
nucleus
cytoplasm
Cell membrane
ribosome
