Summary Introduction

To propose: A model that can determine the outcome of transposition depending on the pattern of replication.

Introduction: DNA is a type of nucleic acids that is found in living organisms. DNA stands for “Deoxyribonucleic acid.” The process of the formation of daughter strands from DNA strands is termed as the replication of DNA. The enzyme RNA primer initiates the synthesis of daughter DNA strands from the template strand. The RNA primer is synthesized by an enzyme known as DNA primase. Two strands are synthesized by this enzyme; one is the leading strand, while the other is the lagging strand.
