Dna Nucleotides Complementary Bases Joined Describe Process Replication

Front Describe the process of DNA replication in bullet points:
Back DNA replication:

1. DNA helicase causes two strands of DNA to separate





2. Free nucleotides that have been activated are attracted to their complementary bases




3. When nucleotides are lined up, they are joined together by DNA polymerase. Remaining unpaired bases continue to attract complementary nucleotides.





4. All nucleotides are joined to form a complete polynucleotide chain using DNA polymerase. Two identical DNA molecules are formed, each is composed of one original strand and one newly formed molecule
