Question

Arrange these steps of DNA replication in the order in which they occur

Answer 1

1. Helicase unwinds the parent DNA strand
2. Single-stranded binding proteins prevent the strands from snapping back to the original DNA structure
3. RNA primase synthesizes RNA primer which attaches itself at the initiation point
4. Polymerase begins synthesizing the new strands
5. Ligase joins the okazaki fragments

Answer 2

The correct order of occurrence is :

Helicase unwinds the parent DNA strand

Single-stranded binding proteins prevent the strands from snapping back to the original DNA structure

RNA primase synthesizes RNA primer which attaches itself at the initiation point

Polymerase begins synthesizing the new strands

Ligase joins the okazaki fragments
