DNA & DNA Replication:
In order to understand how the DNA strand is used as an instruction manual, it is important to understand how the structure of the molecule (double helix) is the perfect design. Because of the parallel nucleotide design, it can be unwound and copied quickly and efficiently with the help of enzymes. DNA Replication: Simplified! |
