Summarize the process of DNA replication and outline the difference between how each strand replicates
What will be an ideal response?
As the polynucleotide strands uncoil, bases are added to the newly synthesized strand by complementary base pairing with bases in the template strand. The new bases are linked together by DNA polymerase. DNA synthesis can proceed only in the 5' to 3' direction and, therefore, only one of the DNA strands can be assembled in a single piece. Newly synthesized DNA on the 3' to 5' template strand is made in short segments and linked together by the enzyme DNA ligase.
