Dna H Bonds Forms Strand Describe Replication Helicase

Front Describe DNA replication.
Back - DNA helicase breaks H bonds, unwinding helix

- Each DNA strand used as a template for a new strand

- Free DNA nucleotides align with complementary base, form H bonds
- adenine forms 2 H bonds with thymine, cytosine forms 3 H bonds with guanine

- DNA polymerase forms phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides 
- by condensation reactions 
- forms sugar-phosphate backbone

- continues along DNA molecule
