What are the steps of DNA Replication in order?

Biology
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

1) The enzyme helicase catalyses the unwinding of the two DNA strands by disrupting the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs.

2) Single-stranded binding proteins attach to the DNA strands to stabilise them and prevent them from joining back together.

3) The enzyme primase catalyses the addition of a short primer consisting of RNA nulceotides to the DNA strand. This serves as an 'anchor' DNA polymerase to initiate replication.

4) The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand by incorporating DNA nucleotides complementary to the existing strand. DNA polymerase activity only occurs in the 5' ---> 3' direction.

5) The enzyme ligase catalyses the formation of hydrogen bonds between the two new pairs of DNA strands, and seals any breakages in the sugar-phosphate backbone.

To understand the chemical basis of inheritance, we must understand the molecular structure of DNA.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

C) reductionism

Explanation:

The approach of reductionism is applied to decipher the basic concepts that rule some complex life processes. In this approach, the complex life processes can be interpreted by explaining the physical and chemical structure of involved components and their interactions. DNA molecules store genetic information. Inheritance means the transfer of genetic traits from one generation to the next. Therefore, the chemical structure of DNA is the application of reductionism to understand the chemical basis of inheritance.
