DNA Replication, the process of making a copy of DNA, Helicase-, an enzyme that separates DNA strands, Replication Fork, a Y-shaped point that results when the two strands of a DNA double helix separate so that the DNA molecule can be replicated, DNA Polymerase-, an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the DNA molecule, Semi-conservative Replication, in each new DNA double helix, one strand is from the original molecule, and one strand is new, Mutation -, a change in the nucleotide-base sequence of a gene or DNA molecule, Primase, enzyme which catalyzes the formation of short RNA primers which precede the addition of complementary DNA nucleotides in the replication process, Okazaki Fragments, short chunks of DNA that are synthesized on the lagging strand of DNA, Leading strand, DNA strand that is replicated in a long continuous strand, Lagging strand, DNA strand that is replicated in short chunks called Okazaki fragments, DNA Ligase -, enzyme that attaches short segments of DNA together, Continuous synthesis, describes the manner in which the leading strand of DNA is synthesized, Discontinuous synthesis, describes the manner in which the lagging strand of DNA is synthesized, Exonucleases, enzymes that catalyze the removal of RNA primers and mismatched DNA nucleotides that would create mutations.
