DNA is the molecule of inheritance and can direct its own replication.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Chromosomes consist of tightly coiled DNA and are packaged with associated proteins.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Prior to cell division, DNA is replicated by a DNA polymerase. This process occurs at several locations on a DNA molecule.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Replication of DNA by DNA polymerase and primer. DNA is unwound and unzipped to form two template strands. DNA polymerase needs a primer to start replication and can only add complementary DNA nucleotides to the deoxyribose (3&#8242;) end of a DNA strand. This results in one strand being replicated continuously and the other strand replicated in fragments which are joined together by ligase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following links offer some useful revision on Cell Structure to support your learning: BBC Bitesize Learner Guide Biology Coach Video Structure and Replication of DNA Quiz Key Area Mindmap Online Flashcards Structure of DNA Wordwall Game The Higher Biology Podcast: DNA, PCR &amp; the Loch Ness Monster\u00a0 At Higher, you will need to know &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Structure and Replication of DNA&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6619,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6619"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/gc\/hhstructureandreplicationofdna\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
