.... there will be two new daughter strands synthesized. However, each of these daughter cells is synthesized in different ways. The first strand of DNA is built by simply adding nucleotides to its end. This strand grows inward towards the replication fork as the DNA molecule unzips. This strand ends with a hydroxide (OH) group and is called the 3` prime or 3`end. The enzyme that catalyzes this process is called DNA polymerase. The second strand is built by having a polymerase jump ahead on the strand and fill ....
