These notes are for chapter 6, module 32 of the “Biology for the AP Course” 1st edition textbook by James Morris, Domenic Castignetti, John Lepri and Rick Relyea. These are aimed at first- or second-year bio students in high school and Intro to Bio college courses. They are pretty surface-level but does go into more detail for the important foundations to biology. Hope they help :)

3 key properties of DNA : stores genetic info directs synthesis of macromolecules and replicate itself
·

32 1 DNA replication
.
is the basis of inheritance and occurs semiconservatively
Base DNA strands run antiparallel (one runs 5'-3 ; other runs 3-51)

pairing replication fork-the site at which the two strands of the double helix unwind strands
+
separate into single
-
each strand becomes template for complementary daughter strands

Semi-semiconservative replication -

DNA replication mechanism where each new DNA molecule consists of one strand that
conservative
Replication was originally part of the parental strand and one newly-synthesized strand




32 2 replication strand is synthesized continuously
During DNA one and the other discontinuously

DNA ·

DNA replication starts at replication forkIseparation of parental strands)
Replication
Enzymes ① Helicase splits parent strand by breaking H-bonds between base pairs


② single-strand protein binds to single-strand DNA to prevent parental strands from
rejoining Ro
③ topoisomerase works up to relieve stress of unwinding DNA 3

④ DNA is replicated by DNA polymerase

DNA polymerase =
component of a large protein complex that carries out all DNA replication

each new strand must start with a primer

Hi there! You will mostly find AP Biology notes here, which go into all the fundamental principles of biology but are specifically aimed at the AP exam. These notes aren’t meant to go super in-depth, and instead just give you the general overview of biology.
