2) The cell plate and cleavage furrow describe the two different processes involved in cytokinesis (the division of cytoplasm). In animal cells, furrowing begins when the midpoint between the spindle fibres forms an …show more content…
Replication is sequenced by DNA polymerase which requires an RNA primer and DNA template to start forming a new DNA chain. DNA polymerase can only act on the ‘3 end of an unravelling DNA strand, called the leading strand, while the other strand being synthesized is called the lagging strand. The RNA primer initiates the new DNA synthesis by providing a starting site for DNA polymerase to initiate its process. DNA then separates into two strands where it can be replicated into two new chains of DNA. An RNA primer is required because DNA polymerase can’t attach and begin its sequence to nucleotides fully paired as there is no site to
