Summary
<a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/DNA" title="DNA">DNA</a> replication.
This scheme is widely distributed but wrong. DNA is synthesized only in 5'->3' direction. Therefore only the so called leading strand is synthesized continuously. The other one, the lagging strand, is synthesized in several Okazaki-Fragments but not continuously as shown in this scheme.
Licensing
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
