Summary Introduction

Introduction:

DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) replication takes place before the cell division and prepares the cell for mitosis and meiosis. This process is followed by transcription and translation. The process of DNA replication is the process by which the genetic material of the organism copies itself to be distributed among the daughter cells during cell division.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following replication proteins is incorrectly paired with it’s function?     DNA polymerase - adds nucleotides to the growing strand     Single stranded binding proteins - hold the DNA strands apart while they are being replicated     Ligase - enhances separation of DNA strands     Topoisomerase - relieves torsional stress due to unwinding by the DNA     Primase - synthesizes a short RNA sequence to initiate replication
Some Processes Involved in DNA Replication The replication origin is identified. DNA primase builds RNA primer. Okazaki fragments are spliced by DNA ligase. Helicases bind and uncoil the DNA double helix. RNA primer is the starting point for DNA polymerase. DNA replication ends at the telomere where DNA codes for termination. DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction in short segments called Okazaki fragments. The sequence in which the events numbered above occur during DNA replication of the lagging strand is:
