DNA Replication
Helicase - unwinds the helix to form replication fork
Primase - synthesises short RNA primers, complementary to the template
DNA Polymerase - reads the strand being copied and links complimentary nucleotides to form new strand
Leading strand
Is synthesized continuously from the template
Lagging strand
Is synthesised with Okazaki fragments
DNA Ligase - joins Okazaki fragments and seals the gaps in the newly synthesized short strands
Cyclic
non-cyclic
