About DNA Replication

DNA replication is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA before cell division. It involves the synthesis of a complementary strand, formation of replication forks, and creation of Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.

Key Formulas:

  • Complementary strand: A↔T, C↔G
  • Replication time = length / (forks × fork speed)
  • Okazaki fragments = length / fragment size

Applications:

  • Genetics and cell biology
  • Biotechnology and PCR
  • Understanding DNA repair and mutations
