  2. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    Adenine pairs with thymine (two hydrogen bonds), and guanine pairs with cytosine (three hydrogen bonds). [18] DNA strands have a directionality, and the different ends of a single strand are called the "3′ (three-prime) end" and the "5′ (five-prime) end". By convention, if the base sequence of a single strand of DNA is given, the left end ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_sheet

    The beta sheet (β-sheet, also β-pleated sheet) is a common motif of the regular protein secondary structure. Beta sheets consist of beta strands ( β-strands ) connected laterally by at least two or three backbone hydrogen bonds , forming a generally twisted, pleated sheet.

  4. Gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_duplication

    The chance of it happening is a function of the degree of sharing of repetitive elements between two chromosomes. The products of this recombination are a duplication at the site of the exchange and a reciprocal deletion. Ectopic recombination is typically mediated by sequence similarity at the duplicate breakpoints, which form direct repeats.
