Accurate DNA replication is essential to cell division.
A. The details of DNA structure and function were pieced together by many scientists. Discuss the experiments of Hershey and Chase. How did the results of their experiments give evidence that the genetic material is DNA, not protein?
B. Describe a short segment of DNA. Show at least one example of each type of nucleotide pairing. Note the polarity of each strand. How does DNA replication proceed on the "lagging" strand?
