Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Almost all the reactions of the body are controlled or governed by one other enzyme. Like for example if we take the case of digestion there are many enzymes that are involved in the process of digestion so is the case with the replication of DNA. In the process of replication of DNA there are certain enzymes that are needed for the process to be carried out. For example: DNA gyrase, DNA helicase, DNA polymerase and so on.

- In the following drawing, the top strand is the template DNA, and the bottom strand shows the lagging strand prior to the action of DNA polymerase I.

Which RNA primer will be the first one to be removed by DNA polymerase I, the primer on the left or the primer on the right?

Let’s consider how DNA ligase connects the left Okazaki fragment with the middle Okazaki fragment.
