DNA Replication

Mr. Anderson explains DNA replication, a crucial process ensuring each cell has identical DNA. He covers the cell cycle, theories of replication, and the Meselson-Stahl experiment, which confirmed the semi-conservative model. The video details DNA's structure, the replication process, and the roles of enzymes like helicase and DNA polymerase. It also discusses replication origins in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, emphasizing the accuracy and importance of DNA replication.
