DNA Replication Model
Nick Constant
This is a DNA molecule. On each side in this example, there are 9 nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of a phosphate, a sugar, and a base. The four examples of bases are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. Adenine and thymine are always paired and cytosine and guanine are paired. To replicate, the hydrogen bond between the bases much be split for each pair. DNA replication occurs during the S stage of mitosis in the nucleus.
Key:
- Adenine - Guanine
- Thymine - Phosphate

First, on the leading strand, DNA polymerase III adds the five phosphate end of a free floating nucleotide to the exposed 3’ OH end on the single stranded DNA continuously. This elongates toward the replication fork. On the lagging strand, DNA polymerase III forms Okazaki fragments discontinuously with the help of other fragments. This elongates away from the replication fork.
