Document Summary

** dna replication is semiconservative because half of original helix appears in newly formed helix after replication** **dna replication is directional (can only flow downstream) (5" to 3")** Short segments of dna or rna that guide polymerase to the section of dna to copy. In dna replication is attached by dna enzyme primase. Essentially fill in the gaps of each other. Collection of fragments or a complete fragment. Use genome to look at specific sequences. Comes in and removes rna primer that will eventually be replaced by dna. Can move at a speed of 3000 base pairs per minute. Uses multiple replication sites to speed up process. Human genome contains 3 billion base pairs. Can make errors in replication causing genetic mutations and evolution. A special heat stable polymerase found in yellowstone hot spring. Technique to replicate and amplify a specific segment. Adds heat (which takes place of helicase)causing strand separation for dna replication.
