How does DNA perform those all-important functions of replication and protein synthesis? This interactive feature, from the Web site developed for the PBS series "A Science Odyssey," will help you explore and understand the secrets of DNA.

See a key historical experiment that demonstrated the semi-conservative mechanism of DNA replication.

Explains the structure of DNA and the seven steps that take place during DNA replication. Includes a labeled illustration for each step.

This site from Ohio State University provides a good outline of the process of replicating DNA. The outline contains a numerous amount of embedded vocabulary links, illustrations of the process and also review questions and solutions.

Learn about the mechanisms that work to correct errors during DNA replication and to repair DNA damage over the cell's lifetime.

Learners explore the Biochemistry topic of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). Topics examined are DNA replication, cloning, and fingerprinting. The resource consists of articles and animations and culminating questions.

Stem cells found in the bone marrow are crucial for our health because they are needed to become new blood cells that sustain and protect our bodies. But when the transformation goes wrong, harmful mutations can cause the cells to start...
