coursesWhat is meant by DNA replication?
It is a biological process by which an original DNA replicates itself to produce two similar copies. It is seen as an essential DNA repair mechanism. Here, the DNA strands separate using the helicase enzyme. Then priming of the DNA strand happens. Later with the help of polymerase, nucleotides are added and assembled to form new DNA.
What is dispersive replication?
It is a replication process that also produces two DNA copies from the original DNA. Here, the two DNA products have distinct regions composed of new and original strands. This replication happens in a random fashion.
What is the use of helicase?
The double helix DNA is unwound during the replication process. This is achieved by an enzyme called helicase. The enzyme moves along the DNA backbone, and helps to unpack the genetic material.
