2. Describe how eukaryotic DNA is replicated including: • the major enzymes involved in replication and the functions of these enzymes; • Initiation, elongation, and termination • How scientists can mimic the mechanism to replication to copy particular pieces of DNA using the process of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 3. Describe what tandemly repeated DNA and interspersed DNA. How can DNA sequences vary from one person to the next by short-tandem repeats?

Step 1
The process is carried out by a group of enzymes that work together to ensure the accurate and efficient replication of DNA. Initiation: The replication process begins at specific sites on the DNA molecule called origins of replication. The enzyme responsible for Show more…

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.)
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'.
