Cabo San Lucas, Mexico â Residents and tourists hunkered down in shelters and hotel conference rooms overnight as a powerful and sprawling Hurricane Odile made landfall on the southern Baja California peninsula.
DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.
DNA replication: DNA strand synthesized from 5' to 3' end. Starts at origin of replication which is a sequence that have a specific sequence of nucleotides which tells it where to begin. Proteins that initiate DNA replication recognize sequence, bind to it and separate the strands and open up replication bubble. Goes in both directions until the entire molecule is copied. At the end of each bubble is a replication fork, the region where the strands are being unwound.
