Question 1: How DNA replication initiates.
Answer:
The proteins that initiate DNA replication bind to DNA sequences at a replication origin to catalyze the formation of a replication bubble with two outward-moving replication forks. The process begins when an initiator protein-DNA complex is formed that subsequently loads aDNA helicase onto the DNA template.
