• DNA has to be copied DNA has to be copied before a cell dividesbefore a cell divides

• DNA is copied during DNA is copied during the the SS or synthesis phase or synthesis phase of of interphaseinterphase

• New cells will need New cells will need identical identical DNA strandsDNA strands

• Enzyme Enzyme HelicaseHelicase unwinds and separates unwinds and separates the 2 DNA strands by the 2 DNA strands by breaking the breaking the weak weak hydrogen bondshydrogen bonds

• Single-Strand Binding Single-Strand Binding Proteins(SSB)Proteins(SSB) attach and keep the 2 DNA strands separated and untwisted

DNA ReplicationDNA Replication• BeforeBefore new DNA strands can

form, there must be RNA RNA primersprimers present to start the addition of new nucleotides

• PrimasePrimase is the enzyme that synthesizes the RNA Primer

• DNA polymerase can then add the new nucleotides

Proofreading New DNAProofreading New DNA

• DNA polymerase initially DNA polymerase initially makes about makes about 1 in 10,0001 in 10,000 base base pairing errorspairing errors

• EnzymesEnzymes proofread and proofread and correct these mistakescorrect these mistakes

• The new error rate for DNA The new error rate for DNA that has been proofread is that has been proofread is 1 1 in 1 billionin 1 billion base pairing errors base pairing errors

Semiconservative Model of Semiconservative Model of ReplicationReplication

• Idea presented by Idea presented by Watson & CrickWatson & Crick• TheThe two strands of the parental

molecule separate, and each acts as a template for a new complementary strand

• New DNA consists of 1 PARENTAL (original) and 1 NEW strand of DNA

DNA Damage & DNA Damage & RepairRepair

• Chemicals & ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA in our body cells

• Cells must continuously repair DAMAGED DNA

• Excision repair occurs when any of over 50 repair enzymes remove damaged parts of DNA

• DNA polymerase and DNA ligase replace and bond the new nucleotides together
