Chromosome Structure
• NucleosomesNucleosomes pack together to form a thick pack together to form a thick fiber containing loops and curlsfiber containing loops and curls

Duplicating DNA
Key ConceptKey Concept::During DNA replication, the DNA During DNA replication, the DNA
molecule separates into two strands, molecule separates into two strands, then produces two new then produces two new complementary strands following the complementary strands following the rules of base pairing. Each strand of rules of base pairing. Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a the double helix of DNA serves as a template, or model, for the new template, or model, for the new strandstrand

How Replication Occurs
Carried out by enzymesCarried out by enzymes1)1) They unzip the molecule of DNAThey unzip the molecule of DNA
Break the hydrogen bonds between the Break the hydrogen bonds between the base pairsbase pairs
2)2) Each strand is a template for the new Each strand is a template for the new strandstrand
