DNA Replication Concept Map

A DNA Replication Concept Map visually organizes the process of duplicating DNA before cell division. It starts with the central concept of DNA Replication, branching into key steps: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination. Initiation involves helicase unwinding the DNA double helix and primase adding RNA primers. Elongation occurs as DNA polymerase synthesizes new strands using complementary base pairing, with leading and lagging strands formed continuously and discontinuously, respectively. Termination completes the process when ligase seals Okazaki fragments, ensuring an identical DNA copy. This concept map helps in understanding the enzymes, steps, and mechanisms involved in accurate DNA duplication.
