Essential knowledge 3.A.1: DNA, and in some cases RNA, is the primary source of heritable information.
DNA replication ensures continuity of hereditary information.
i. Replication is a semiconservative process; that is, one strand serves as the template for a new, complementary strand.
ii. Replication requires DNA polymerase plus many other essential cellular enzymes, occurs bidirectionally, and differs in the production of the leading and lagging strands.
