DNA Replication
-
Original DNA strand
-
The double helix unzips, separating the bases from its complementary base
-
New nucleotides fit into position on the father strands by complementary base-pairing
-
The enzyme DNA polymerase causes new nucleotides to join together.
-
Two Half “old” and Half “new” new identical copies are created called daughter strands.
