DNA replication. Computer artwork of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule during replication. DNA is composed of two strands. Each strand consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone (grey) attached to nucleotide bases. During replication the two strands unwind and separate,forming a replication bubble that enlarges to form a Y-shaped molecule termed a replication fork. It is here that daughter strands form a the parent DNA acts as a template for the construction of a new matching strand In this way the sequence of bases (or genetic information) along the DNA molecule is replicated | |
