|---|---|
 DNA replication | How it copies itself |
| DNA polymerase | Find beginning of circular strand & begins breaking bonds holding the bases together (unzipping) |
| New nucleotides | new are brought in and matched w/ old strand eg: nucleotide A open and nucleotide w/ T, C open and nucleotide w/ G |
| Unzipping | This process of 2 strands and matching new nucleotides to present ones continues along the entire circular DNA |
| DNA end | When this process reaches the end, the bacterium has 2 DNA molecules. Each then twists, move to opposite ends of bact, & pinch into 2 bact |
| DNA new | 1 parent strand is present in each new molecule w/ other strand being the new synthesized strand |
