Lesson: DNA Replication Biology

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the process of semiconservative DNA replication, including the role of different enzymes, and recall how errors made during DNA replication can be corrected.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

recall the basic structure of DNA, including the complementary base pairings,
describe the process of semiconservative DNA replication,
explain the role of DNA helicase, DNA polymerase, and DNA ligase in semiconservative DNA replication,
describe how errors introduced in DNA replication can be corrected.
