DNA Gene Expression

DNA Replication
genome-complete set of DNA in a
living organism
·




genes-sequence of DNA that codes for specific proteins
·




·
DNA replication to generate two identicle molecules from original DNA strand
① unwind helix
O add
complementary base
pairs
Reminders !
nucleotides linked
by phosphodiester bonds

phosphate group links carbon S' to carbon 3
nucleotides always added to 3' end

Qalarge protein binds to the
origin of replication,
DNA is unwound forming replication forks Singlerandeda
