Mercury's seasons are difficult to determine. This is because it has virtually no tilt (0.03 degrees), but a highly elliptic orbit. ... Mercury also has a bizarre rotation, spinning three times (every 53 Earth days) over two rotations around the Sun, making it impossible to tell when one season begins and one ends.
(1) denaturation of the template into single strands; (2) annealing of primers to each original strand for new strand synthesis; and (3) extension of the new DNA strands from the primers.
Hope this helps! :)
