These guided notes provide a comprehensive overview of dna replication, a crucial process in cell division. The notes cover key concepts such as the role of enzymes like dna helicase and dna polymerase, the difference between leading and lagging strands, and the structure of chromosomes. They also delve into the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic dna replication. The notes are designed to be used alongside a video lesson and include exercises to reinforce understanding.

DIRECTIONS: You will complete the guided notes using the Video found on BLEND. You also have access to the Google Slides and PDF version of the lesson. You can print these notes and hand write on them, you can create a copy of this document and type into it, or you can hand write your own notes in a notebook. Make sure to keep your notes organized in a physical folder or in a folder on your google drive. You will want to be able to access them quickly for assignments! It is highly suggested to highlight or mark your vocabulary terms as you go through a lesson and fill in your notes. 3.7 S-Phase (DNA Replication) Guided Notes Name: Date: 1/12/ Recall: The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle โ Two main phases: โ 1. Interphase: phases of growth and DNA replication โ G1 phase: 1st Cell Growth Phase โ Cells do most of their growing during this phase. Cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles โ S phase: Synthesis Phase (DNA replication) โ S Phase: stage of interphase in which DNA is replicated โ New DNA is synthesized when the chromosomes are replicated. โ At the end of this stage, the cell contains twice as much DNA as it did as it did at the beginning โ G2 phase: 2nd Cell Growth Phase โ Once DNA replication is completed, the cell enters the G2 phase. Many of the organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced. โ 2. M (Mitotic) Phase: division phases โ Mitosis โ nuclear division โ Cytokinesis โ cell division S-Phase: DNA Replication โ Before a cell divides, it duplicates its DNA in a copying process called replication. โ Ensures that each resulting cell has the same complete set of DNA molecules. โ Overview of process: โ The two strands of the double helix separate, allowing two replication forks to form โ As each new strand is synthesized, new bases are added using the base pairing rules. โ The result is two DNA molecules identical to each other and the original DNA molecule โ Replication is semi-conservative: each new DNA molecule resulting from replication has one original strand and one new strand Check for Understanding
Eukaryotic DNA Replication: โ In eukaryotic cells, replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule, proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied. โ Many proteins check DNA for damage or mismatches, but damaged regions of DNA are still sometimes replicated. Prokaryotic DNA Replication: โ Replication in most prokaryotic cells starts from a single point and proceeds in two directions until the entire chromosome is copied. โ Recall: The Prokaryotic Cell Cycle โ The process of cell division in prokaryotes is a form of asexual reproduction known as binary fission โ Once the chromosome has been replicated, the two DNA molecules attach to different regions of the cell membrane โ Binary fission results in the production of two genetically identical daughter cells.
