REPLICATION

1953- James Watson and Francis


Crick worked out that DNA IS
DOUBLE Helix like a twisted
staircase
The two sugar-phosphate make up
the sides and the base pairs make up
the rungs or steps of the twisted
staircase.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is copied
during INTERPHASE prior to mitosis
and meiosis.
The structure of the DNA provides a
mechanism for making accurate
copies of the molecule.
The process of making copies of DNA
is called REPLICATION.
