DNA Replication
By: Laura Keller
DNA
• The DNA double helix refers to the shape of the DNA molecule, or the twisted ladder. It has two intertwining strands made of sugar and phosphate with links across the middle. The rungs of the ladder are base pairs made of four different bases, represented by the letters A, T, G, and C.
The Enzyme DNA helicase “unzips” or unwinds the double stranded DNA at the origin of replication by breaking hydrogen bonds between complementary strands.

Why Does DNA Need to Replicate?
• DNA needs to replicate because when a cell in your body divides, in order for your body to grow or repair itself it must also duplicate the cell's DNA. This is so the cell will then have it's own set of directions to know how to continue replicating.
Where in Mitosis Does DNA
Replication Happen?• DNA replication happens in S Phase and also in cytokinesis, or
the last phase of mitosis.
Where in the Cell?
•DNA replication happens in the nucleus of a cell.
In My Own Words...
• Telomeres- keep chromosomes from becoming attached to each other accidentally.
• Okazaki Fragment- a section of complimentary strands of DNA formed when the enzyme DNA Ligase is present.
• DNA Ligase- an enzyme that “stitches” a new complimentary strand of DNA called an okazaki fragment.
• Telomerase- an enzyme that helps a cell maintain the length of their telomeres.
In My Own Words… (Continued)
• Cancer- expresses the enzyme telomerase, which helps a tumor to grow.
• Transplanted Cells- cells that have been taken, added to, and then given back
• Cloning- taking a piece of something and making another copy
• Aging- the steady shrinking of cells in the body
Mutations (Mistakes)
• If there are any mistakes while replicating DNA, it will result in the mutation of a gene. An organism can only have up to 3 mutations, or it cannot live. Sometimes, mutations are minor, while other times, they can change one’s whole genetic makeup. For example, a mutation can result in the crossing over of a 21st chromosome, resulting in one having Down’s Syndrome.
