A detailed examination of the process by which DNA is duplicated in cells, exploring the enzymes and mechanisms involved in maintaining the integrity of genetic information.
DNA Replication: 1. Definition: DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. It is a crucial step in cell division and ensures genetic information is passed accurately to daughter cells. 2. Steps of DNA Replication: a. Initiation: DNA unwinds at the origin site. Enzymes called helicases separate the DNA strands. Single-strand binding proteins stabilize the un...…
