Description: DNA replication is the copying of both strands of a duplex DNA to produce two identical DNA duplexes. The replication of DNA is accomplished by a complex of enzymes called the replisome. DNA polymerase has multiple functions. As parental DNA strands unwind, forming a replication fork, DNA polymerase guides the pairing of incoming dNTP, each with its complementary partner on the strand being copied. It then catalyzes the formation of the phosphodiester bond to link this residue to the new growing chain.
