The Biochemical Reactions. 1  DNA replication begins with the unzipping of the parent molecule as the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs are broken. 2  Once exposed, the sequence of bases on each of the separated strands serves as a template to guide the insertion of a complementary set of bases on the strand being synthesized.
Because the two nucleotide strands of DNA of DNA are antiparallel, replication takes place continuously on one strand (the leading stand) and discontinuously on the other ( the lagging strand). The short lengths of DNA produced by discontinous replication of the lagging strand are called Okazaki fragments. DNA Polymerase 1 cuts out the RNA primer and uses 5' to 3' polymerase activity to replace the RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides.
