DNA structure, orientation and replication. Experiments to prove semi-conservative theory of DNA replication. Proofreading mechanisms. Spontaneous changes that occur in DNA. DNA repair mechanisms. Summary, questions and overviews included.

Part 1 of DNA Replication and repair, specifically looking at what nucleotides are, the structure and importance of their orientation within DNA. Briefly looks at the history of the DNA structure, associated replication model theories and the experiments used to come to the conclusion of the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication. Analyses the process of DNA replication in depth, how DNA grows in length and Okazaki fragments. Looks at proofreading mechanisms used to prevent frequent mutat...

Part 2 of DNA Replication and repair, specifically looking at how chromosomes are replicated using accessory proteins and summarising all the proteins forming the machine in DNA replication. Analysing each of these proteins in detail: DNA topoisomerases, telomerase and so on. Briefly looking at the differences between eukaryotes and bacteria in terms of end-replication of chromosomes. Analysing in detail the process of DNA repair, it's importance and the spontaneous changes that can give rise to...
