DNA Replication
1) DNA helice begin unwinding. A helicase enzyme untwists the double helix and separates the DNA into two complementary strands.
2) Each strand serves as a template for a new strand of DNA.
3) proteins and enzymes come together in a complex called a replisome- includes
RNA primers
4) DNA polyermase III positions complementary base pairs along the template strand and bonds them together.
5) short segments of DNA are spliced together by DNA ligase and two new identical strands are formed.
6) When replication is complete histones complete the formation of two new chromatin strands. These strands are united by a centromere and condense to form chromatids.
