DNA Replication
Nitrogen bases
1. adenine1. adenine 2. thymine2. thymine 3. guanine3. guanine 4. cytosine4. cytosine
pairs Adenine only pairs with thymine.Example: (A+T = AT) or (T+A + TA)
Guanine only pairs with cytosine.
Example: (C+G = CG) or (G+C = GC)

DNA Replication
Summary:
Example: (C+G = CG) or (G+C = GC)Replication process
Step 1 – The two sides of DNA unwind and seperateExample: like a zipper unzipping
Step 2 – Floating nitrogen bases line up.Example: TA, AT, CG, & GC
Step 3 – Bases attach to each other and 2 new DNA molecules are formed.
Example: like a zipper zipping up again
