DNA Replication-Process of duplication of DNA
DNA Replication DNA replication is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. The process involves a series of steps that are carried out by a variety of enzymes and proteins. Table of Contents Steps in DNA replication DNA replication is Semi conservative? Significance of DNA Replication conclusion References Steps in DNA replication Pic: Steps In DNA Replication, photo Credit:pixabay.com Initiation: The process of DNA replication begins at specific sites on the DNA molecule called origins of replication. At these sites, the double helix is unwound by an enzyme called helicase, which creates a replication fork. Priming: The next step is the priming of the DNA strands. The enzyme primase synthesizes short RNA primers that provide a starting point for DNA synthesis. Elongation: Leading and Lagging strands: DNA polymerase s
