DNA Replication


Replication is the process of copying one strand of the DNA double helix into two strands of the double helix of DNA. There are three hypotheses about the occurrence of DNA replication, namely the theory of conservative, dispersive, and semiconservative.

1.     Conservative theory: the double helix is not changed recently and immediately form a new  double helix. 
2.     Dispersive theory: the double helix to falter and then cut it apart and form a new piece that will be continuous with the old pieces. 
3.     Semiconservative theories: the double helix separate tape so the single helix pair then formed a new band that complement. Semiconservative theory is the most accepted theory for the replication process.
