DNA Replication

DNA Replication is a DNA molecule that is double stranded and has the ability to make exact copies of itself. The hydrogen bonds break between the nucleotide bases and the two strands separate when DNA is required by organisms. By this new bases are made by bringing the cell and paired up with each two separate strands forming new identical, double stranded DNA. In the enzymes, the double helix is unwounded by the helicase. The DNA polymerase binds to one strand and moves 3 to 5 direction, assembling a leading strand of nucleotide bases reforming the double helix. DNA synthesis only occurs 5 to 3 a second type of DNA polymerase binds to others strands as the double helix opens. This molecule must synthesis disconnection segments of polynucleotide.
