Document Summary

The helicase separates the dna strands- forms template strands (leading & lagging) Dna polymerase iii elongates & synthesizes the new strand by adding complementary base pairs to the parent strand. Rna p(cid:396)i(cid:373)e(cid:396)s adds a fe(cid:449) se(cid:395)ue(cid:374)ces at the 3" e(cid:374)d of the pa(cid:396)e(cid:374)t st(cid:396)a(cid:374)d. The (cid:374)e(cid:449) st(cid:396)a(cid:374)d is al(cid:449)ays sy(cid:374)thesized i(cid:374) the 5" to 3" di(cid:396)ectio(cid:374)s.

Genes are protected, as telomers are removed during replication instead of genes at 5" e(cid:374)d. Telomers it"s a si(cid:374)gle-stranded region left after primer removal. Telomerase binds to single-st(cid:396)a(cid:374)ded 3" e(cid:374)d of chromosomes by complementary base pairing between. Telomerase synthesizes new telomere dna using telomerase rna as template.

Telomerase synthesizes more new telomere dna using telomerase rna as template.
