Artwork of mechanism of DNA replication
Artwork illustrating a mechanism for replication of DNA, the substance of genetic inheritance. The DNA double helix consists of two strands of nucleotides (sugar, phosphate & base) lying antiparallel; each strand is joined through hydrogen bonding between the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). A always pairs with T, and C with G; the resulting base sequence along the molecule determines genetic information. Conservation of information during cell replication occurs through each parent strand acting as a template for the formation of a complementary strand in a daughter molecule

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artwork depicting the intricate mechanism of DNA replication. At the core of genetic inheritance, DNA is represented as a double helix composed of two strands made up of nucleotides - sugar, phosphate, and base. These strands lie antiparallel to each other and are connected through hydrogen bonding between four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The beauty lies in the precise pairing rules: A always pairs with T, while C pairs with G. This complementary base pairing determines the unique sequence along the DNA molecule that carries vital genetic information. During cell replication, this artwork illustrates how conservation of information occurs seamlessly. Each parent strand serves as a template for the formation of a new complementary strand in a daughter molecule. The process is meticulously orchestrated to ensure accurate transmission of genetic material from one generation to another. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this art piece not only celebrates biochemistry but also highlights the marvels within our own cells. It reminds us that every living organism relies on this fundamental process for their existence. Captured by Science Photo Library, this mesmerizing artwork invites viewers into the fascinating world where science meets artistry – unveiling nature's blueprint for life itself.
