DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the __________ of the leading strands and to the __________ of the lagging strands (Okazaki fragments).

3' end; 3' end

What enzyme joins Okazaki fragments?

DNA ligase

which of the following components is required for DNA replication?

once the DNA at the replication fork is unwound by helices, what prevents the two strands from coming back together to re-form a double helix?

Single-strand binding proteins bind the unwound DNA and prevent the double helix from re-forming.
