2a. DNA replication is the basis for
cell division (Cell proliferation) which is a fundamental process
that occurs in all living organisms.
In the process of DNA replication, each strand serves as a template
for the synthesis of the daughter strand. DNA polymerase extends
the primer in 5'-3' direction. DNA replication is
semi-conservative, bidirectional, and semi-discontinuous.
DNA replication occurs during the
S-phase of interphase.
DNA replication occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes (It occurs in
the cytoplasm in prokaryotes)

Fill in the Blank 1. DNA replication in E. coli begins at a 245 base pair sequence called • The initiation of DNA replication at this site begins with the binding of the protein, to multiple 9 base pair repeats regions. The association of these proteins generate superhelical tension which unwinds the 13 bp repeat region called the . The next step of initiation involves the loading of the protein (a helicase) onto the 13 bp repeat region by another...
