Question

1. number the following steps of replication in the correct order. * step 1 step 2 step 3 step 4 step 5 replace rna primers with dna nucleotides join remaining fragments together to make the strand continuous add rna primers unzip and unwind the dna add new nucleotides to build a new complementary strand

Explanation:

DNA replication starts with unwinding the double - helix. Then RNA primers are added to provide a starting point for DNA synthesis. New nucleotides are added to form a new complementary strand. RNA primers are then replaced with DNA nucleotides. Finally, the remaining fragments are joined to make the strand continuous.

Answer:

Unzip and unwind the DNA: Step 1
Add RNA primers: Step 2
Add new nucleotides to build a new complementary strand: Step 3
Replace RNA primers with DNA nucleotides: Step 4
Join remaining fragments together to make the strand continuous: Step 5
