Title: Why would DNA synthesis occur in both directions from an origin of replication? Post by: vikingsfantasy on Jan 4, 2022 Why would DNA synthesis occur in both directions from an origin of replication?
▸ Leading strands extend from one side of the origin while lagging strand extends from the other side of the origin. ▸ DNA is a double helix and DNA synthesis is 5' to 3'. ▸ DNA direction synthesis is random and sometimes extends in one direction from an origin of replication and sometimes in the other direction. ▸ Replication-associated proteins bind at two replication forks. ▸ It allows DNA strands to overlap when reaching another origin of replication.
