### Understanding DNA Replication: Processes and Steps Explained ###

DESCRIPTION

DNA replication is a vital cellular process ensuring that each new cell receives an exact copy of the DNA. It occurs during interphase before mitosis, and involves several key steps: firstly, the hydrogen bonds between base pairs are broken, separating the DNA strands. Next, these strands serve as templates for free nucleotides in the cell, with DNA polymerase facilitating their bonding. Lastly, two new strands are formed, each containing one original strand, a process known as semi-conservative replication. Understanding this process is crucial for comprehending cell reproduction. ###

I. Why does DNA replicate? • Every new cell needs its own DNA. • Must be identical to original. • Occurs during interphase, before mitosis.
II. Replication A. Step 1- The hydrogen bonds holding the base pairs together are broken and the DNA unzips into 2 separate single strands.
B. Step 2 of Replication • As the DNA is unzipping, each strand becomes a template. • Free nucleotides from the cell match with the corresponding base pair. They are bonded by DNA polymerase.
C. Step 3 of Replication • Replication produces 2 new single strands, each connected to one original strand. • Since one strand is “conserved” in each new molecule of DNA, this is called semi-conservative replication
