Describe the three models of DNA replication. Describe the process of DNA replication in eukaryotes. Include all the proteins and enzymes involved. How does synthesis of the lagging strand differ from the template strand? Explain the significance of telomeres in DNA replication. Is there any link between cancer and aging?

Step 1
In conservative replication, the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of an entirely new molecule. In semi-conservative replication, each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for a new strand, resulting in two daughter Show more…

Adi S.
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'.
