Understand the process of DNA replication, which is the mechanism by which a cell duplicates its DNA before cell division.
Identify the three main steps involved in DNA replication: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.
Initiation: This is the first step where the replication process begins. It involves the unwinding of the DNA double helix and the formation of the replication fork.
Elongation: During this step, new DNA strands are synthesized by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand. DNA polymerase plays a crucial role in this process.
Termination: This is the final step where replication ends. The newly synthesized DNA strands are completed, and the replication machinery is disassembled.
