Study Notes
DNA Replication
- Semiconservative replication of DNA results in progeny DNA molecules consisting of one parental strand and one new strand.
Replication Fork
- A replication fork is a Y-shaped region where the parental strands of DNA are being unwound.
Hershey-Chase Experiment
- The overall conclusion of the Hershey-Chase experiment is that DNA is responsible for heredity.
DNA Polymerase III
- DNA polymerase III adds nucleotide pairs to the growing DNA strand.
mRNA Characteristics
- mRNA contains both a 7-Methyl guanosine triphosphate cap and a polyadenylate segment.
