You want to answer this question, let's talk about dna replication.
00:03
Imagine this is your dna.
00:08
It is something like this, and then like this, and like this, okay? and this is the part where dna replication is going to cure, obviously.
00:16
This is why the strands are separated from each other.
00:20
And let's suppose this strand here goes from 5, from 3 to 5, i'm sorry.
00:24
And you have here the ele cases that are opening the enzyme or the dna in this direction.
00:29
So, well, obviously this strand goes from 5 to 3 because both strands, this and this have to be antiparital.
00:37
Remember that the enzyme that that does the process of dna replication is called dna polymerase, and this dna polymerase replicates or produces a new strand from 5 to 3.
00:52
This is a direction by which this dna polymer is can polymerize the new strand.
00:57
So as you can see here, this strand goes from 3 to 5, so that dna polymerase has polymerized a new strand from 5 to 3.
01:04
So it is going to synthesize in this direction.
01:09
In this direction, okay? and as you see here, this dna application in this strand is going to go in the same direction as the helicases open the dna here.
01:21
So it means it is going to be a continuous dna replication here, because as the helicases keep opening, dna replication is going to continue occurring because this dna polymerase is going to polymerize for 5 to 3.
01:32
This strand here is called that leading strand...
