Question

What is the first step in the process of DNA replication?

Answer 1

The first step in the processof DNA replication is the initiation. This process take part in particular points in the DNA rich in adenine and thymine bases (origins), which are targeted by proteins (called Origin Recognition Complex in eukaryotes) that recruit other proteins and form the pre-replication complex, which separate the DNA strands at the origin and forms a bubble.
