Q
RNA primase
A
Inserts a starter of RNA nucleotides at the initiation point
1
Q
Helicase
A
Splits DNA molecule apart, starting at replication origins such as this one, rich in A-T pairs
2
Q
DNA polymerase
A
Binds a complementary leading strand of DNA nucleotides starting at this 3’ end of RNA primer
3
Q
RNA primase
A
Attaches more RNA primer in the remaining gaps, yielding a series of Okazaki fragments (lagging strand)
4
Q
Exonuclease
A
Strips away RNA primer
5
Q
Ligand
A
Inserts phosphate into any remaing gaps
