Summary Introduction

To explain:

The process of DNA replication and list the major enzymes involved.

Introduction:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is located in the nucleus within a cell termed as nuclear DNA. DNA has a double helical structure that is made up of sugar, phosphate and nucleotides. When the division of cell occurs each cell gets a same copy of DNA.

DNA replication is a process in which a DNA produces a copy of itself. Doubling of DNA helix is done by the formation of a new strand from template (parent strand). The each new DNA molecule carries one parent and one new strand. The template strand is termed as template for the replication of new DNA molecule
