1. Initiation: The DNA helix unwinds and separates at the origin of replication.
2. Helicase binding: Helicase enzymes bind to the separated DNA strands and help in breaking the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs.
3. Priming: Primase synthesizes short RNA primers on each of the separated DNA strands.
4. DNA polymerase binding: DNA polymerase enzymes bind to the RNA primers and start adding complementary DNA nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.
5. Elongation: DNA polymerase continues to add nucleotides in a 5' to 3' direction, synthesizing new DNA strands in the leading and lagging directions.
6. Okazaki fragment synthesis: In the lagging strand, DNA synthesis occurs in short segments called Okazaki fragments.
7. DNA ligase binding: DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments together by sealing the phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides.
8. Termination: The replication process reaches the end of the DNA molecule, and replication is complete.
