DNA Replication (Schematic)
This interactive simulator explores DNA Replication (Schematic) in Chemistry. Fork, leading vs lagging strand, Okazaki fragments — static labeled cartoon. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Suited to beginners and first exposure to the topic. Typical context: Chemistry.
Key terms

How it works
Duplex unwinds at the replication fork; one template allows continuous synthesis (leading strand) while the other requires short Okazaki fragments stitched by ligase.
Key equations
- Polymerases read templates 3′→5′ while elongating 5′→3′.
- Fragments arise where the strand runs 5′→3′ opposite to fork motion.
