Genetic Blueprints and Information Flow · Genetics & Heredity

DNA Structure and Replication

Understanding the molecular basis of inheritance and the high fidelity of DNA synthesis.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the double helix structure facilitate both stability and the ability to replicate?
  2. 2What are the consequences for an organism if DNA repair mechanisms fail during the S phase?
  3. 3How does the directionality of DNA strands create challenges for the replication machinery?
