which strand has 3’ and 5’?
the leading strand is split on the 3’ end and the lagging strand is split on the 5’ end
what does helicase do?
unwinds and unzips and DNA
what does primase do?
the primase puts the polyermase on the strands
what does the polyermase do?
polymerase builds new strand in the 5’3’ direction
which strand is harder for the polymerase for it to do its job, it has to jump around
the lagging strand
