parent DNA (3' to 5') strand correspond to a start codon and its last three
nucleotides correspond to a stop codon in its MRNA counterpart later on.) Write it

Explain the function of an origin of replication in the replication of DNA, and know how the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in terms of the number of origins of replication on each chromosome.
Explain why replication is different on the two strand at a replication fork, including:
how these differences are related to the fact that DNA strands are synthesized in a 5’ to 3’ direction.
what is meant by the terms bidirectional replication, and replication bubble.
the role of the leading strand, lagging strand, Okazaki fragments, continuous and discontinuous replication
In Semi conservative replication:
A. After one round of replication of a single molecule of DNA, one DNA molecule will be produced that contains two parental strands of DNA and one DNA molecule will be
produced that contains two new (or de novo) strands.
B. After one round of replication of a single molecule of DNA, two resulting DNA molecules will be produced both of which contain a mix of both parental and new
DNA interspersed on every strand of DNA
C. After two rounds of replication of a single molecule of DNA, two resulting DNA molecules will contain both a parental strand and a new strand of DNA and the other
two resulting DNA molecules will contain all new (or de novo) DNA

molecules will contain all new (or de novo) DNA
