DNA Replication
Eukaryotic DNA Replication Steps
Description
Eukaryotic DNA replication copies the genome before a cell divides. In eukaryotes, this process happens in a controlled sequence so each new cell can receive genetic information.
Replication begins at specific sites on the DNA called origins. The DNA is opened, and each original strand serves as ...

Transcript
Most prokaryotic factors utilized during replication have equivalents that play similar roles in eukaryotic DNA duplication.
This process initiates at an origin of replication, to which a recognition complex binds. Helicase is then attracted to the site and separates the strands of DNA, generating a bubble with two forks.
