Steps Diagram (A - E)
(A - E)

I. Free nucleotides are attracted to their

1 A
complementary bases.

H. A representative portion of DNA, which is about

2 B
to undergo replication.

F. Once the new nucleotides have lined up, they

3 C are joined together by the enzyme DNA
polymerase.

G. Finally, all the nucleotides are joined to form a

complete polynucleotide chain using DNA
4 D polymerase. In this way, two identical strands of
DNA are formed. Each strand retains half of the
original DNA material.

J. The two strands of the DNA separate. The

5 E hydrogen bonds between the bases
break.
