replication forks
О
origins of replication
О
leading strands
О
replication bubbles



Answer :

Final answer:

DNA replication starts at origins of replication on the DNA molecule, leading to the formation of replication forks and synthesis of new DNA strands.


Explanation:

DNA replication initiates at specific regions on the DNA molecule known as origins of replication. These regions mark the starting point where the DNA unwinds and replication forks are formed. Subsequent steps involve the synthesis of new DNA strands by enzymes such as primase and DNA polymerase, with one strand being the leading strand and the other the lagging strand.
