DNA Replication (Schematic)

This interactive simulator explores DNA Replication (Schematic) in Chemistry. Fork, leading vs lagging strand, Okazaki fragments — static labeled cartoon. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.

Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Chemistry.

Key terms

  • dna
  • replication
  • schematic
  • dna replication schematic
  • chemistry

Legend

Labels follow standard fork cartoon (not scaled to base pairs).

How it works

Duplex unwinds at the replication fork; one template allows continuous synthesis (leading strand) while the other requires short Okazaki fragments stitched by ligase.

Key equations

  • Polymerases read templates 3′→5′ while elongating 5′→3′.
  • Fragments arise where the strand runs 5′→3′ opposite to fork motion.
