                    1. 23 Pairs of chromosomes
                      1. If DNA was a language
                        1. Genes would be paragraphs
                          1. Chromosomes would be books

                                1. 1.Free activated nucleotides align + H-bond to complementary base
                                  1. 2. DNA Polymerase catalyses the addition of bases in the 5'-3' direction
                                    1. Bases are added to the 3' end of the new strand

                                          1. Energy ∴ provide energy for DNA synthesis
                                          2. ATP, CTP, GTP, TTP
                                            1. DNA replication = active process
                                            2. Semi-conservative replication
                                              1. Conserve half and the molecules and the other half is new
                                                1. PROK

                                                      1. doesn't necessarily harmful
                                                      2. Meselsohn + Stahl had 3 facts to prove semi-conservative replication
                                                        1. 1) All bases in DNA contain nitrogen
                                                          1. 2) ¹⁴N isotope is lighter than ¹⁵N isotope
