Answer:

DNA replication is a process where the DNA is copied and replicates to produce the 2 identical copies of the molecule. Strands of DNA molecule work as a template for the production of complementary strands. The DNA splits synthesizing a fork. A new DNA is always synthesized in a 5' prime to 3' prime manner. Replication of both the DNA strands goes in two different ways.

1) Leading strands: It is a strand which is goes to the direction same as the replication fork movement and synthesized in 5'-3' prime direction. This strand formation is occurred as nucleotides are continuously added to the 3' prime end after polymerase reads the DNA template (original).

2) Lagging strands: It is a strand which is goes to the opposite direction as the replication fork movement and synthesized in 3'-5' prime direction. It is synthesized in fragments which are known as okazaki fragments. Lagging strand synthesis needs RNA primase.

How do cells know that there is something wrong with the DNA?
sveta [45]
The short answer is that cells respond to the chemical environment in which they find themselves. The cells around them, the specific conditions, and feedback from the environment all create specific chemical cues that inform the cells to which genes should be expressed, and in what amounts. Chemicals include hormones, cytokines, general signaling molecules, such as cAMP, etc.
