The enzymes involved in DNA replication are helicase, binding proteins, primer synthesizers, DNA polymerases and DNA ligases. The helicase unwinds the two nucleotide strands and the binding proteins stabilize the single stranded DNA. The DNA polymerases attach the free nucleotides to the growing strand and the DNA ligases seal the new short stretched of nucleotides into a continuous strand. If there are any errors in the process, the DNA polymerases, ligases, and others also proofread and repair any mix up in base pairs.

There is a y shaped replication fork on each side of each replication bubble what are the sides of the replication fork called?
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.
The direction of DNA replication on the leading strand occurs in the?
The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesises strands in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction, and as DNA is antiparallel the replication of the leading strand occurs from the 3 prime end of the template to the 5 prime end of the template.
What is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during DNA replication?
leading strand
What is the definition of a lagging strand?
A lagging strand is one of two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, or junction, in the double helix; the other strand is called the leading strand. A lagging strand requires a slight delay before undergoing replication, and it must undergo replication discontinuously in small fragments.
Compare the leading and lagging strands during replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction

What does the helicase enzyme do?
Helicase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It unwinds and unzips the parental DNA strand.
What is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during DNA replication?
leading strand
What enzyne produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
The DNA polymerase enzyme produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication
Does dna ligase help assemble the leading strand?
Not in general replication as the leading strand is replicated straight away. The lagging strand is replicated in pieces that need ligase to affix them, one to the other. However, in a replication bubble, when a lagging strand runs into a leading strand, and later the primers are replaced, ligase is still needed. Therefore, technically, the leading strand does need the ligase once.
Is RNA polymerase used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction
Where does ssb protein bind on lagging strand or on leading strand?
ssb protein bind to the lagging strand as leading strand is invovled in dna replication and lagging strand is invovled in okazaki fragment formation
What are leading strands?
Leading strands are one of the two newly synthesized DNA strands during DNA replication. They are synthesized in a continuous manner in the 5' to 3' direction, following the replication fork. The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the replication fork is moving, allowing for continuous synthesis.
What is the definition of a lagging strand?
A lagging strand is one of two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, or junction, in the double helix; the other strand is called the leading strand. A lagging strand requires a slight delay before undergoing replication, and it must undergo replication discontinuously in small fragments.
The continually elongating strand of new DNA at one side of a replication fork during replication is known as the?
Leading!
Are the leading strand and lagging strand of DNA replication copied in the same direction?
No, both will be synthesized in opposite directions
