Step-by-step explanation:

DNA replication starts in nucleus during the interphase portion in the cell.

The helicase first unzips the DNA strands into single strand.

Then, the Primase will tell then tell the DNA Polymerase to build the strands for the new strands of DNA.

Finally, the Ligase glues the two strand back together.
