Summary Introduction

Introduction:

A student worked in the laboratory and conducted an experiment on the DNA replication process. The observation of the result included the formation of a normal strand paired with other segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. The DNA replication involves the synthesis of leading strand and lagging strand by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The enzyme primase joins the individual fragments of the DNA to form the complete strand.
