Semi-conservative replication
The process by which replication occurs; the way Meselson and Stahl proved it to be.
Antiparallel
Parallel to each other but going in opposite directions.
Lagging strand
Each new fragment of the cannot be started until enough template has been exposed at the replication fork.
Leading strand
Telomeres
Acts as a cap for the end of genes to prevent erosion.
