<h3>What is the DNA replication process?</h3>
DNA replication is the process through which a DNI molecule duplicates.
This event takes place during the S stage of the interphase. So when the cell divides during mitosis or meiosis, each new cell will get a complete set of chromosomes.
DNI replication is semi-conservative because each new molecule carries an original DNI strand and a new one. The old existing strands are used to synthesize the new complementary strand.
The origin of the replication requires,
- helicase enzymes to break hydrogen bonds and separate the two original strands.
- The topoisomerase enzyme is necessary to release tension.
- Other proteins are also needed to join the strains and keep them separated.
Once the molecule is opened, there is a region named replication fork.
DNA polymerase makes the new nucleotides enter the fork and pairs them with the corresponding nucleotide of the original strand. Adenine pairs thymine, and cytosine pairs guanine.
DNA strands are antiparallel, and replication occurs only in 5'-3' direction. So one of the strands will replicate continuously (leading strand), while the other strain will be formed by short fragments known as Okazaki fragments (lagging strand).
Primers are needed to make the DNA polymerase work. Primers are small units of RNA and are placed at the beginning of each new fragment.
