Question

drag each tile to the correct box. arrange these steps of dna replication in the order in which they occur. helicase unwinds the parent dna strand. ligase joins the okazaki fragments. single - strand binding proteins prevent the strands from snapping back to the original dna structure. polymerase begins synthesizing the new strands. rna primase synthesizes rna primer, which attaches itself at the initiation point.

Explanation:

DNA replication starts with helicase unwinding the parent DNA strand. Then, single - strand binding proteins prevent the strands from snapping back to the original DNA structure. RNA primase synthesizes RNA primer which attaches itself at the initiation point. Polymerase begins synthesizing the new strands. Finally, ligase joins the Okazaki fragments.

Answer:

1. Helicase unwinds the parent DNA strand.
2. Single - strand binding proteins prevent the strands from snapping back to the original DNA structure.
3. RNA primase synthesizes RNA primer which attaches itself at the initiation point.
4. Polymerase begins synthesizing the new strands.
5. Ligase joins the Okazaki fragments.
