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)

The DNA molecule is getting “unzipped”. This means that the

hydrogen bonds are being broken so that the two strands of DNA

separate from each other.

2. -What happens to the DNA molecule during the


second step of DNA replication?

The second step is to add free nucleotides. The

complement base is added to each preexisting one so A always

binds with T and C always bonds with G.

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

During the third step, the DNA is bonded and double checked.

Meaning that, the outcome is two DNA double helix molecules.

Each DNA is made up of one original and one new strand.

How DNA Is Copied
4. What does it mean that the two strands of DNA are complementary? When two strands
are complementary, it means that they run in opposite directions alongside each other.

5. What is DNA replication? The process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during
cell division.
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? DNA replication happens in the
nucleus.

11. When does DNA replication happen? In the 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 C C
GG
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 G G
CC

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 C C
TA
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 G G
AT

Original Strand: A A G T A C G A T C G A T G C A C A T G C A T G G C T A C
GC
Complementary Strand: T T C A T G C T A G C T A C G T G T A C G T A C C G A T G
CG
