Question 1
DNA replication can be defined as the process by which during cell division the DNA duplicates itself to several copies. In this process, the first step involves the unzipping of the double helix found in the DNA structure. This is done by the helicase enzyme, which breaks hydrogen bonds holding the DNA together. When separated the two DNA strands form a replication fork with a Y shape (Craig et al. 2014). This causes the strands to be oriented in different directions, forming the leading and the lagging strands. Once the two orientations are formed, a short RNA piece called ...
