front 1 Helicase | back 1 unzips the double helix |
front 2 dna polymerase III | back 2 Adds complementary bases continuously from the 5'-3' direction |
front 3 primase | back 3 places RNA primers/flags starting sequence to mark starting point of DNA polymerase |
front 4 exonuclease | back 4 removes RNA primers afterwards |
front 5 DNA polymerase I | back 5 adds complementary bases to the lagging strand |
front 6 Topiosomerase | back 6 prevents supercoiling of the helix |
front 7 telomerase | back 7 uses RNA to rebuild telomeres(repeating units of TTAGGG that protect the main DNA) |
front 8 Okazaki fragments | back 8 -fragments of complementary dna and rna base pairs on the lagging strand |
front 9 DNA ligase | back 9 covalantly bonds Okazaki fragments together |
