Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1 DNA Replication starts at the Origin of Replication

Step 2

Helicase cuts hydrogen bonds then separates DNA in half

Step 3

Single Strand Binding Proteins connects to the halves and keep the DNA molecules separated (they are needed because the sides are attracted to each other and with out the Single Strand Binding Proteins they would move back together)

Step 4

In the leading strand, RNA Primase moves along nucleotides and coats with a RNA Primer that will be used as a homing beacon for the DNA Polymerase.

Step 5

DNA polymerase attaches post primase to DNA nucleotides and move along towards the Replication Fork. It adds nucleotides to the half DNA molecules.

Step 6

Another type of Polymerase replaces the primer with DNA nucleotides

Step 7

7. Ligase reconnects the gaps.
