Learning Activities
1. Watch this video regarding DNA replication, and fill out the 4-step summary sheet. (only the first three columns). The 4-step summary sheet can be located in Google Classroom. Turn it in when you're finished. (The video is also embedded for you below these instructions.)
2. On a whiteboard, draw an ORIGINAL diagram of DNA replication. Show all stages and use all of the words below. Label each of the words in your diagram as well. You may NOT leave the room until Mrs. E has seen your diagram!
replication fork
DNA polymerase
Helicase
DNA ligase
RNA primase
Okazaki fragments
leading strand
lagging strand
base-pairing
3. Fill in the last column of the 4-step summary sheet.
