Understand that DNA replication is a biological process by which a cell duplicates its DNA, usually before cell division.
Identify the three main steps of DNA replication: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.
Initiation: This is the first step where the DNA double helix is unwound by helicase enzymes, creating a replication fork.
Elongation: During this step, DNA polymerase enzymes add nucleotides to the growing DNA strand complementary to the template strand.
Termination: This final step occurs when the replication process is complete, and the newly synthesized DNA strands are released.
