Document Summary

Both strands of dna are synthesized together at the replication fork. Junction between the newly synthesized template strands and the unreplicated duplex dna. Can be replicated continuously as the dna polymerase moves in the same direction of the replication fork. Synthesized in the 5" 3" direction. Directs the dna polymerase to move in the opposite direction of the replication fork. Synthesized in the 5" 3" direction but away from replication fork. Short fragments of new dna formed on the lagging strand. Okazaki fragments are transient intermediates in dna replication. Initiation of a new strand of dna requires an rna primer. These primers are subsequently extended by dna polymerase. Both leading and lagging strands require primase. Primase does not require specific dna sequences to initiate dna synthesis. Primase is activated when it is associated with dna helicase. A protein that unwinds the dna to create as ssdna template at the replication fork. Rna primers must be removed to complete dna replication.
