DNA replication is bidirectional from each origin, creating two forks per origin

Tags
Description
Panel 1 shows the entire origin, but panels 2 to 4 show only the left fork. The separation of DNA at the origin of replication produces two replication forks that move in opposite directions. New DNA strands are made near the opening of each fork. The leading strand is made continuously in the same direction that the fork is moving. The lagging strand is made as small pieces in the opposite direction. Eventually, these small pieces are connected to each other to form a continuous lagging strand.
