Summarize the process of DNA replication in a diagram. Add labels to explain what is happening.
Draw or label a diagram of a DNA molecule undergoing replication, and describe the process of replication in both the leading and lagging strands. You should know what a replication bubble looks like, including directionality, and be able to identify the various enzymes and other molecules used in the process (DNA ligase, DNA polymerase, helicase, primase, topoisomerase, and single-stranded binding proteins), the primer, the origin of replication, and Okazaki fragments.
