DNA Flashcards
DNA Replication
Step three
DNA polymerase
Add DNA nucleotides on leading strand in one continuous direction and okazaki fragments on lagging strand.
DNA Replication
Step two
RNA Primase
Add RNA primer to make double-stranded so nucleotides can be added
DNA Replication
Step six
DNA Polymerase
Replaces RNA with DNA nucleotides
DNA Replication
Step four
RNA Primase
Adds RNA nucleotides to fill any gaps.
DNA Replication
Step seven
DNA ligase
Adds phosphate groups into gaps in the backbone
DNA Replication
Step five
Exoneuclease
Removes RNA primer
DNA Replication
Step one
DNA Helicase
Unwinds double helix and breaks H bonds
