The general mechanism of DNA replication. Replication takes place in cell's nucleus. Hence DNA is double helix it is unwind by DNA helicase, than special proteins keep DNA unwinded, while DNA polymerase III binds complementary nucleotides on leading strain. Lagging strand is replicated in peaces which are called Okazaki fragments.
