Problem 30

Background and context

A replication fork is formed in the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) with the help of the helicase enzyme. Various enzymes act in the replication fork to replicate the template strands of DNA. Since the strands run anti-parallel to each other, the process of replication on both the strands differs a lot. The lagging strand is associated with the feature of discontinuous replication of DNA.
