DNA semiconservative replication model
Materials - Sheets of DNA rails of first color, enough to
make a DNA model with 22 bases. Sheets of DNA of second color for new
rails; scotch tape, shapes to represent, helicase, DNA polymerase,
DNA ligase, RNA primer in short strips,
- sides must be anti parallel... see notes below for
filling in base sequence
- 3' end must start with TATATAC on parent DNA(
this will include bases needed for translation in future)
Do not include a STOP codon in your DNA sequence on the master strand that has
the TATATAC at the 3' end.
- your model must include, two new rails of DNA, DNA
ligase, DNA polymerase, helicase, Okazaki fragments, RNA primers
- your model must have some parts that can be moved
around as you talk through the process.
