Some Processes Involved in DNA Replication The replication origin is identified. DNA primase builds RNA primer. Okazaki fragments are spliced by DNA ligase. Helicases bind and uncoil the DNA double helix. RNA primer is the starting point for DNA polymerase. DNA replication ends at the telomere where DNA codes for termination. DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction in short segments called Okazaki fragments. The sequence in which the events numbered above occur during DNA replication of the lagging strand is:

Enzymes in DNA replication Helicase unwinds parental double helix. Binding proteins stabilize separate strands. Primase adds short primer to template strand. DNA polymerase binds nucleotides to form new strands. Ligase joins Okazaki fragments and seals other nicks in sugar-phosphate backbone.
