The process of copying DNA

What structural features of the double helix are important for DNA replication?

DNA synthesized as one "complete" strand

The strand synthesized continuously

DNA synthesized in pieces

The strand synthesized discontinuously

The pieces of DNA synthesized on the lagging strand are 1000-2000 nucleotides long and each contains an RNA primer

Double-stranded DNA is half conserved following replication (half old, half new)

The "Y" shaped region of a DNA molecule that is being replicated; parental DNA strands have separated and new daughter strand being made

Sequences essential to origin of replication

Order of events at origin of replication

Enzyme that links together Okazaki fragments on DNA lagging strand

RNA Primers removed and replaced with dNTPs by this enzyme
