replication bubble
DNA : Genetic material
helicase : The enzyme responsible for separating the two strands of DNA in a helix.
ligase : The enzyme responsible for sealing together breaks in a DNA strand.
primase : The enzyme responsible for initiating synthesis of RNA primers on the lagging strand.
lagging strand : The strand of pre-existing DNA that is oriented in the 5' to 3' direction.
leading strand : The strand of pre-existing DNA that is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction.
Okazaki fragment : Short stretches of newly synthesized DNA found on the lagging strand.
