- Firstly, the DNA double helix gets unzipped or unwound by the enzyme DNA helicase by breaking the hydrogen bonds.
- Secondly, the enzyme DNA polymerase, using an RNA starter, adds the complementary pairs to the split apart DNA.
- The lagging strand is composed of Okazaki Fragments, which are put together with the enzyme DNA ligase
- DNA polymerase
- Leading Strand
- Okazaki Fragments
- Replication Fork
- DNA ligase
