Genetics and the Molecular Basis of Heredity · Genetics & Heredity

DNA Structure and Replication

Detailed study of the double helix structure and the semi conservative process of DNA duplication.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the molecular structure of DNA allow it to store vast amounts of information stably?
  2. 2What are the consequences for an organism if the DNA replication process lacks fidelity?
  3. 3How does the directionality of DNA strands affect the replication process?
