DNA Structure, Replication, and Repair — Double Helix Architecture, Enzymatic Machinery, and Genome Stability Explained | Chapter 6 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology Chapter 6 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments provides a deep examination of the molecular structure of DNA, the precision of its replication, and the essential repair systems that protect the genome from damage. By exploring the double-helix model, enzymatic replication machinery, and multiple repair pathways, this chapter emphasizes the remarkable balance between stability and vulnerability that defines genetic material. This expanded summary builds on the content in the YouTube video and supports students who are learning how DNA structure underpins its biological function. For a guided explanation of these foundational mechanisms, make sure to watch the full chapter breakdown above.
