DNA Replication Animation Overview

Key Points of DNA Replication Video

1. Introduction to DNA Replication

   • Begins with an introduction to the process of DNA replication.

2. Helicase and Replication Fork

   • Explanation of the role of helicase in unwinding the DNA double helix.
   • Formation of the replication fork where the DNA strands are separated.

3. DNA Polymerase 3

   • The function of DNA Polymerase 3 in synthesizing new DNA strands.
   • Details on how DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA chain.

4. Semiconservative Process

   • Clarification on the semiconservative nature of DNA replication.
   • Each new DNA molecule consists of one old and one new strand.
