CHARGAFFS RULES
In all DNA molecules:
The proportion of adenine is equal to
thymine
A=T
Replication as a process
Double-stranded DNA
unwinds.
The junction of the unwound
molecules is a replication fork.
A new strand is formed by pairing
complementary bases with the
old strand.
Two molecules are made.
Each has one new and one old
DNA strand.
Helicase unwinds
parental double helix
DNA polymerase
binds nucleotides
to form new strands
Binding proteins
stabilize separate
strands
Exonuclease removes
RNA primer and inserts
the correct bases
Primase adds
short primer
to template strand
