DNA REPLICATION

DNA replication is defined as the process by which an organisms

original DNA is used as a template for the production of a new
complementary DNA. Strand the new DNA molecule must preserve the
fidelity of the underlying base sequence DNA replication in a nucleus
begins. When an enzyme called helicas breaks the hydrogen bonds
between the two strands of DNA it unwinds the double-helix DNA into 2
singles trans that serve as a templates for the replication of DNA.
The resulting structure is called a replication for the leading strand
is formed from its five prime to its three prime strand by the enzyme
polymer is three polymerase 3 units known as nucleotides to the leading
strand. Nucleotides contain sugars, phosphates and bases. The other
strand known as the lagging strand is formed backwards from is three
prime-five prime it does not form continously like the leading strand,
instead it forms and pieces known as okazaki fragments RNA primase. Add
a structure known as the RNA primer to the lagging strand DNA
polymerase 3 then lays down a new DNA in the lagging strand. This
process is repeated as new DNA is added to the strand, another type of
DNA polymerase known as polymerase one replaces the RNA primers in
the lagging strand with DNA. Finally DNA ligase link the okazaki fragment
thus the lagging strand is completely replicated.
