The three steps that are required for DNA replication are
A) unwinding, complementary base pairing, and joining.
B) base doubling, unwinding, and joining.
C) complementary base pairing, transcription, and translation.
D) unwinding, transcription, and translation.
E) unwinding, base doubling, and base pairing. In DNA replication, the DNA is first unwound by helicase. Then, new complementary nucleotides are positioned by complementary base pairing to each strand. The new nucleotides are then joined into a new strand.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three steps required for DNA replication are unwinding the double helix, complementary base pairing between the single strands, and joining the new nucleotides into a new strand. This process is done by DNA polymerase enzyme. Choice A correctly identifies these steps.
