how is it replicated?
The two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase.
DNA

the structure found in the cell that contains strands of dna is called a(n) nuclei what is its full form? Deoxyribonucleic acid what is base pairing? In a DNA double helix, each type of nucleobase on one strand bonds with just one type of nucleobase on the other strand, his is called complementary base pairing. are there any alternative structures? Yes, DNA exists in many possible conformations that include A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA forms

DNA [SEP] Replication
Cell division is essential for an organism to grow, but, when a cell divides, it must replicate the DNA in its genome so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic information as their parent. The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication. Here, the two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme makes the complementary strand by finding the correct base through complementary base pairing and bonding it onto the original strand. As DNA polymerases can only extend a DNA strand in a 5′ to 3′ direction, different mechanisms are used to copy the antiparallel strands of the double helix.
