1. Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. DNA replication refers to the process whereby DNA makes its own copy during the process of cell division. During this process, the DNA strands unzip themselves since helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary strands. As this occurs, a replication fork is created. Each individual strand (leading and lagging) will be used as templates. A primer attaches itself to the leading strand and the synthesis of DNA begins, whereby DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the synthesized strand. This is a continuous process and occurs in 5’ to ...
