Replication dna

replication, DNA

A wondrous complex process whereby the ( parent ) strands of dNA in the double helix are separated and each one is copied to produce a new ( daughter ) strand. This process is said to be semi-conservative since one of each parent strand is conserrved and remains intact after replication has taken place.

Stem and Progenitor Cell Questions

... (still only pluripotent and not totipotent) and no cell lineage cells at that time/location. They can proceed to become asymmetrical in their replication when they encounter a signaling factor that is secreted from the environment (say another cell that is not nearby, but is available after ...

Re: chromosome 2 replication.

Ya you are right, there could definetely be a problem in chromosome2 due to presence of 2 centromeres. However the inactivity of one of the centromeres in the anaphase acts fortunate for us.

multiple initiation sites.

i think the question was referring to origins of replication, because in EK cells there are multiple vs only one in bacteria

multiple initiation sites.

... as to how multiple initiation sites actually enhance the accuracy of replication? As far as I know, intitiation sites are realted to gene expression ... the original question, as I'm not sure if it means gene expression or DNA replication; the question talks about initiation and replication, and ...
