1.) DNA replication is a process where the double helix is unwound and each strand is replicated to create another. This occurs in all replication of the body cells, or reproductive cells, a common process called mitosis.
2) The original DNA molecule is exactly the same as the replicated molecule, but the original is called the parent cell and the replicated molecule the daughter cell.
3) Enzymes act as catalysts/proofreaders of DNA replication. For example, Primase synthesizes RNA primer, or DNA ligase joins DNA strands together.
1. In my own words, DNA replication is an action where the DNA strand, which is a double helix unwinds it self and each strand is then replicated to create more DNA that is identical to the other.
2. The original DNA molecule is identical to the replicated molecule, but now the DNA that replicated it self is now the ‘parent’ cell.
3. Two roles that enzymes plays in DNA replication is that it acts as a corrector, kind of like an editor for you story but in this case, DNA replication.
