A, G = Purine, T, C = Pyrimidine

Steps
1. DNA unwinds
• DNA Helicase unzips & unwinds DNA strands
2. Starting Point
• Primase adds an RNA Primer to
give a starting point to extend the DNA
3. Complementary Bases
• A with T, C with G
4. Elongation (Increase in length)
• DNA Polymerase reads parent strand & Adds Nucleotides
5. Termination (Ending)
• RNA Primer/Starting point removed
• Ligase connects the segments
• Two identical DNA molecules produced

Mistakes
