Label the figure below. Word bank: leading strand, lagging strand, DNA polymerase, DNA helicase, replication fork

DNA can replicate itself because its two strands are complementary. This means that one strand can be used as a template to make the other strand. It happens right before cell division via mitosis or meiosis so that each new daughter cell can have a complete genome.

Before replication can start, the double strands of DNA need to separate from each other. An enzyme called DNA helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds that connect the two strands, allowing them to come apart.

The point where this unzipping starts is called an origin point. Eukaryotic DNA can have more than one origin point, but prokaryotes can only have one.

The points where DNA is currently unwinding are called replication forks.

Hope this helps Have a good day

identify the dna change shown in the diagram and explain how that change can result in the increased genetic diversity often seen among siblings.identify the dna change shown in the diagram and explain how that change can result in the increased genetic diversity often seen among siblings.v

he movement of air through earth's or any planet's atmosphere is called wind, and the main cause of earth's winds is uneven heating by the sun. this uneven heating causes changes of atmospheric pressure, and winds blow from regions with high pressure to those with low pressure.

i hope this : )
