DNA Replication in Cells
Grade 8•45 minutes•3. Develop and use models to explain how events during the cell cycle lead to the formation of new cells and repair of multicellular organisms, including cell growth, DNA replication, separation of chromosomes, and separation of cell contents. a. Construct an explanation of the process of DNA replication during cellular division (S-phase).
Learning Objective
I can model the process of DNA replication, showing how enzymes and base pairing contribute to creating identical DNA strands.
