DNA replication is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA to produce two identical copies, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information during cell division.
The enzyme DNA _ reads the DNA code on the parental strands and builds new partner strands that are complementary to the original strands
Amylase
Protease
urease
polymerase
polymerase
__ separates the original parental strands to open the DNA
Helicase
Primase
DNA polymerase 1
DNA ligase
Helicase
_ puts down short pieces of RNA, called primers, that are complementary to the parental DNA
Helicase
Primase
DNA polymerase 1
DNA ligase
Primase
_ removes the RNA primers and replaces them with DNA, so it’s slightly different from the DNA polymerase that makes most of the new DNA
Helicase
Primase
DNA polymerase 1
DNA ligase
DNA polymerase 1
_ forms covalent bonds in the backbone of the new DNA molecules to seal up the small breaks created by the starting and stopping of new strands. The parental strands
Helicase
Primase
DNA polymerase 1
DNA ligase
DNA ligase
