ResourcesChapter menu Steps of DNA Replication 1.separation of the DNA strands by helicase Hydrogen bonds between the bases are broken 2.DNA polymerases form new strands by adding complementary nucleotides to each of the original strands Each new DNA molecule is made of one strand of nucleotides from the original DNA molecule and one new strand. This is called semi- conservative replication. Ch 8-3
