Solution
DNA Replication:
The process in which the DNA makes multiple copies of itself is known as
DNA replication
.
DNA replication is a biological polymerization, which proceeds in the sequence of initiation, elongation, and termination.
DNA replication is an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
DNA Polymerase is the main enzyme in the replication process.
Three types of DNA replication are:
Conservative DNA replication:
It produces two DNA helices, out of which one contains entirely old DNA while the other contains entirely new DNA.
Semiconservative DNA replication:
It produces two DNA helices in which each helix contains one new strand and one old strand.
Disruptive DNA replication:
It produces two DNA helices in which each strand has alternating segments of old and new DNA.
