Dna Replication Steps Diagram. Replication includes steps initiation elongation and termination. During the process of dna replication each of the two strands which makes the double helix work as a template from which new strands are copied.
The new dna strands are synthesized in two orientations i e 3 to 5 direction which is the leading strand and the 5 to 3 orientation which is the lagging strand. Out of two strands formed one old or parental strand is retained and the other view strand is synthesized. Dna replication has three steps initiation elongation and termination.
It is created through the action of helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the two dna strands together.
Dna replication can be thought of in three stages. Dna replication is semi conservative. The replication fork is a structure which forms when dna is being replicated. Main enzyme involved in replication is dna polymerse iii.
