BIOL 1510 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Polynucleotide, Heterochromatin, Genetic Code
Document Summary
Set 6 the process by which a dna molecule is copied; also called dna synthesis. When the external dna is rom a member of a different species, transformation results in horizontal gene transformation results in horizontal gene transfer. Virus an infection particle incapable of replicating outside of a cell, consisting of an rna or dna genome surrounded by a protein coat (capsid) and, for some viruses, a membranous envelope. Double helix the form of native dna, referring to its two adjacent antiparallel polynucleotide strands wound around an imaginary axis into a spiral shape. Antiparallel referring to the arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a dna double helix. Semiconservative model type of dna replication in which the replicated double helix consists of one old strand, derived from the parental molecule, and one newly made strand. Origins of replication site where the replication of a dna molecule begins, consisting of a specific sequence of nucleotides.
