DNA replication. Computer artwork depicting DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication. This segment of DNA is being "unzipped" to form a Y-shaped replication fork. During replication,the two spiral strands of DNA (red) unwind. Next,the bonds between the bases (pink,green,yellow & blue) that form the DNA's genetic code are broken by the enzyme DNA polymerase (zip at centre left). Daughter strands (blue) are built along each strand of parental DNA using the original base sequence as a template for the new matching DNA strands. Finally the enzyme DNA ligase (zips at upper and lower right) "zips" the strands together to form two identical molecules of DNA | |
