Dna Replication Process Summary. When two strand of dna are separated, each strand act as template for the formation of new strand. The process is called replication in sense that each strand of ds dna serve as template for reproduction of complementary strand.
New strands are formed in the 5′ to 3′ direction. In conservative replication, the parental dna is conserved, and the daughter dna is newly synthesized. In eukaryotes, there are multiple origin of replication present.
Dna is made up of a double helix of two complementary strands.
The process of dna replication is a complex one, and involves a set of proteins and enzymes that collectively assemble nucleotides in the predetermined sequence. Dna replication is semi conservative; The dna copied accurately in the daughter cells. Summary of dna replication notes is right below
