DNA Replication Model Showing Discontinuous Synthesis
- DNA helix"opens" up
- RNA Primer initiates synthesis
- DNA Polymerase III extends the new strand
- replication fork opens up unreplicated DNA on"lagging" strand
- RNA Primer initiates synthesis on"lagging" strand
- DNA Polymerase III extends the new strand on"lagging" strand
- creates discontinuous DNA synthesis on the"lagging" strand
