mysterious to the scientific community in many ways. It is a fascinating and intricate element of nature and is continuously studied and examined from many perspectives.
Interestingly enough, "While the period from the early 1900s to World War II has been considered the golden age of genetics, scientists still had not determined
that DNA, and not protein, was the hereditary material" (Farabee, 2007). Clearly the study of DNA and the processes associated with DNA are studies that are relatively young. Since its
true discovery, DNA has been studied in many respects, and also any understanding of DNA has been further explored for its possibilities in terms of medical and scientific understanding. The
following paper examines a very important and complex area of DNA study, DNA replication, examining its presence and then examining how the understanding of DNA replication is being used in
different ways. DNA Replication As noted in the introduction, it was not until the 20th century that it was discovered how
DNA was not protein. The year was 1952 when Martha Chase and Alfred D. Hershey sought to discover what comprised hereditary material. They conducted many experiments that would illustrate to
them whether it was DNA or protein (Farabee, 2008). And, in perhaps better understanding DNA replication it is helpful to understand the basic structure of DNA. "DNA is a double
helix, with bases to the center (like rungs on a ladder) and sugar-phosphate units along the sides of the helix (like the sides of a twisted ladder)" (Farabee, 2008). It
was deduced by Watson and Crick that the strands were complementary (Farabee, 2008). The strands possess the complementary pairs that put together A with T and then C with G
