Question

order the events that occur during dna replication. dna helicase unwinds the dna. dna ligase seals the gaps between new dna and okazaki fragments. dna polymerase removes rna primers and replaces them with dna nucleotides. dna polymerase extends the primer by adding nucleotides that are complementary to the template strand. rna primase synthesizes a primer which attaches to the initiation point.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

DNA replication begins with DNA helicase unwinding the DNA. Then RNA primase synthesizes a primer that attaches to the initiation point. Next, DNA polymerase extends the primer by adding complementary nucleotides. After that, DNA polymerase removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA nucleotides. Finally, DNA ligase seals the gaps between new DNA and Okazaki fragments.

Answer:

  1. DNA helicase unwinds the DNA.
  2. RNA primase synthesizes a primer which attaches to the initiation point.
  3. DNA polymerase extends the primer by adding nucleotides that are complementary to the template strand.
  4. DNA polymerase removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA nucleotides.
  5. DNA ligase seals the gaps between new DNA and Okazaki fragments.
