Pipe-Cleaner DNA Replication

The Bases
Blue: AGreen: T
Orange: GPurple: C
The First Strand Created
Anti-Parallel
Bases Matched Up
Wind up the DNA
DNA is All Wound UP
DNA has been Unwound and Unzipped
A New Strand is Lined up Anti-Parallel
Bases Matched Up
Winding/Zipping Up
All Wound up and Zipped up
The End Result
Shows:
•Anti-parallel structure
•Semi-Conservative DNA Replication
•Bases matched up A-T and G-C
•Bases can only be added from the 3’ end
