  • Your DNA needs to be in every cell in your body, so what happens when cells divide? How does each new cell retain all of the genetic information? The DNA is able to copy itself through a process called replication. Let's go through the finer points, shall we?

    I just realized something very important in terms of how to interpret your animation.
    The directionality of the synthesis of the new strand is correct. However, I initially thought that the numbers you put on the leading strand was identifying the ends of the new strand, not the original strand.
    In other words, the new strand would read/synthesize as such: 3' under the 5' of the leading strand and 5' under the 3' of the leading strand with the arrow going in the same direction.

    I enjoy that I can learn the basics from your mini-lectures. Great job, Professor Dave. You put me in mind of my late father, a physician, teaching me about reproduction, mitosis, meiosis, etc. He started with onions and went on from there, ending with human reproduction when he felt it was age-appropriate (about 13-14 in my case). This puts me in mind of his teaching methods.
    I just subscribed a couple of hours ago and will be adding your videos to my Geology/Volcanology and Evolution and Extinctions playlists. So glad I found your channel!

      Chatgpt and another video that visualize the 3' and 5' along the backbone, helped me to understand it.
      Anyway, you videos are still fantastic. They are the best I can find online. Almost all the information are sufficient (ie, useful) and necessary (ie, minimal) to build upon each other.

    1. after binding the primer to the DNA strand, the primase leaves the spot, and DNA polymerase iii takes the same spot to start adding the free DNA nucleotides?
    2. on which strand do the following take place first or do the following processes take place simultaneously (as there is one molecule of enzyme allocated for each strand?) on both the strands?
    a) exonuclease removing the RNA nucleotides/primers
    b) DNA polymerase I adding DNA nucleotides in place of the primers
    c) Primase adding primers
    d) polymerase III adding free DNA nucleotides
