Animated visualization of DNA replication process

Replication Animation

Phase: Initiation

Replication Phases

  • Initiation: DNA helicase unwinds the double helix
  • Elongation: DNA polymerase adds nucleotides
  • Leading Strand: Continuous synthesis 5' to 3'
  • Lagging Strand: Okazaki fragments synthesis
  • Termination: DNA ligase seals the strands
