DNA REPLICATION
WHAT IS DNA?
DNA is a molecule that has a repeating chain of identical five-carbon sugars (polymers) linked together from head to tail. It is composed of four ring shaped organic bases (nucleotides) which are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). It has a double helix shape and contains the sugar component deoxyribose.
THE PROCESS OF DNA REPLICATION
How DNA replicates is quite a simple process. First, a DNA molecule …showed first 75 words of 2222 total…

Before an amino acid can be assembled into a polypeptide chain, it must first be modified to a so-called acyl amino acid, which is more reactive than an unmodified one. This important acyl conversion is powered by the energy stored in a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
