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.

Re: How did endosymbionts coordinate replication?

Just a question about mtDNA: According to the endosymbiontic theory mitochondria were ancient bacteria that survived in an ancient eukaryotic cell and continued to live as part of it as an organelle. So, I suppose, in any eukaryotic cell ...

How does a plasmid work?

Can you (or anybody else) go into a little more detail about how the replication works? Or link me to a website? Is it still the same with helicase unwinding the DNA and primase coming in and etc. like in regular DNA replication?
