    DNA makes an identical copy of itself during cell division. It does this through a process called DNA replication where the double helix unwinds and each strand serves as a template to make a new complementary strand.

    The three steps of DNA replication are: 1) Unwinding of the DNA double helix. 2) Addition of nucleotides to form new strands. 3) Creation of two new DNA molecules each with one original and one new strand.

    The enzymes involved in DNA replication are DNA helicase, DNA polymerase and DNA ligase. DNA helicase unwinds the DNA double helix. DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides. DNA ligase seals the phosphate backbone.

    DNA Replication Practice


    Directions: Below are the 3 steps in DNA replication. Follow the directions for each
    step and then answer the questions below.

    1. -What is happening to the DNA molecule in the figure?


    (Explain the first step in DNA replication)

    Separation of DNA complementary strands

    (Helicose breaking hydrogen bonds)

    2. -What happens to the DNA molecule during the second


    step of DNA replication?

    Nucleotides are added in the correct order to create a


    Complementary strand.

    3. -What happens during the third step of DNA replication?

    New phosphate/sugar backbone is sealed together.

    4. What does it mean that the two strands of DNA are complementary? The two bases
    are paired with the right partner, but they are not identical.

    5. What is DNA replication? Copying of DNA to result in two identical molecules.

    6. Using your notes, book, and this assignment, place the steps of DNA replication in
    the correct order.
    2 a. The enzyme DNA polymerase moves along the exposed strands and adds
    complementary nucleotides to each nucleotide in each existing strand.
    1 b. The DNA double helix breaks or unzips down the middle between the base
    pairs.
    3 c. A complementary strand is created for each of the two strands of the
    original
    double helix.
    4 d. Two new identical DNA molecules have been produced.

    7. (True or False) The process of DNA replication results in a copy of the original
    DNA molecule.
    8. (True or False) DNA does not have to break apart to be copied.
    9. (True or False) After DNA replication is complete, there are two new DNA
    molecules; one molecule has both of the original strands and one molecule has
    two new strands of DNA.

    10. Where does DNA replication happen? In the nucleus


    11. When does DNA replication happen? S phase of interphase

    12. Below are DNA strands. Make the complementary DNA strand:

    Original Strand: A T G C A A A T T G C T C A C C G G G G A T C A G C A
    CCGG
    Complementary Strand:T A C G T T T A A C G A G T G G C C C C T A G T C G T
    GGCC

    Original Strand: A G G G G A T C A G C A C C G G A T T T C A T G A G C
    CCTA
    Complementary Strand: T C C C C T A G T C G T G G C C T A A A G T A C T C G
    GGAT

    13. Make a DNA Timeline on another sheet of paper. This timeline must include:
    1. The enzymes that are doing each step.
    2. A written description of the three steps of DNA replication.
    3. A picture of each of the three steps of DNA replication. Pictures of
    DNA
