The process of DNA replication at biochemical level
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a biopolymer that encodes all the structures needed for the organism’s lifespan and development. In a cell it is located in the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts. DNA consists of four types of deoxyribonucleotides, the sequence of which is used to store the data.
The essential characteristic of DNA molecule that allows it to pass the stored information to the next generations of cells or organisms is the way of self-reproduction known as replication. The molecule consists of two complementary chains that are held together with the help of hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases. ...
