Briefly describe the process of DNA replication. Start with the molecular machinery and be sure to describe what DNA polymerase does. Use the terms 'free nucleotides', 'helicase', 'polymerase', 'complementary'. Describe the result; how many strands were made? Describe their composition. Use the terms 'parental DNA' and 'new DNA'.

Describe the process of DNA replication. What are the major enzyme players in replication and what they do. Describe the reaction DNA polymerase uses to add nucleotides during replication. Describe the challenge eukaryotes have in replicating the ends of their DNA and what their solution is. Describe the 4 levels of DNA packaging in eukaryotes and why we need to package DNA. Describe the process of transcription: the three stages, key players at each stage, and terminology (promoter, start site, upstream/downstream, etc.)
