Explanation and Animation of DNA Replication

The video tutorial explains DNA replication, a crucial process ensuring genetic consistency in cell division. It covers the central dogma of molecular biology, emphasizing DNA's role in protein synthesis. The tutorial details the semi-conservative replication process, highlighting complementary base pairing and the role of enzymes like helicase and DNA polymerase. It describes the formation of replication forks, leading and lagging strands, and the synthesis of Okazaki fragments. The video concludes with the rapid pace of DNA replication in humans.
