DNA replication (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | DNA replication or DNA synthesis refers to the process of copying a double-stranded DNA strand, prior to cell division (in eukaryotes, during the S phase (see also mitosis and meiosis)). |
 | | This origin of replication is unwound, and the partially unwound strands form a "replication bubble", with one replication fork on either end. |
 | | At the beginning of replication, an enzyme called DNA polymerase binds to the RNA primase, which indicates the starting point for the replication. |
