    The document describes the three main steps of DNA replication: 1) The DNA double helix unwinds and separates into two strands. 2) Each single strand acts as a template for complementary base pairing to form two new double helices. 3) DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to each exposed single strand to form two identical copies of the original DNA molecule. The process ensures faithful copying of genetic information and transmission to new cells.

    DNA Replication Practice

    Directions: Below are the 3 steps in DNA replication. Follow the directions for each step and
    then answer the questions below.

    1. What is happening to the DNA molecule in the figure? (Explain the


    first step in DNA replication)

    2. What happens to the DNA molecule during the second step of DNA
    replication?

    3. What happens during the third step of DNA


    replication?

    How DNA Is Copied
    4. What does it mean that the two strands of DNA are complementary?

    5. What is DNA replication?

    6. Using your notes, book, and this assignment, place the steps of DNA replication in the
    correct order.
    a. ______ The enzyme DNA polymerase moves along the exposed strands and
    adds complementary nucleotides to each nucleotide in each existing strand.
    b. ______ The DNA double helix breaks or unzips down the middle between the
    base pairs.
    c. ______ A complementary strand is created for each of the two strands of the
    original double helix.
    d. ______ Two new identical DNA molecules have been produced.

    7. (True or False) The process of DNA replication results in a copy of the original DNA
    molecule.

    8. (True or False) DNA does not have to break apart to be copied.

    9. (True or False) After DNA replication is complete, there are two new DNA molecules;
    one molecule has both of the original strands and one molecule has two new strands of
    DNA.

    10. Where does DNA replication happen?

    11. When does DNA replication happen?

    12. Below are DNA strands. Make the complementary DNA strand:
    Original Strand AT G C AAAT T G C T C A C C G G G G AT C A G C A C C G G

    Complementary
    Strand

    Original Strand AG G G GATCAG CAC C G GATTTCATGAG C C CTA

    Complementary
    Strand
