It starts with helicase unzipping the double helix, and primase laying down RNA primers. The leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is made in pieces called Okazaki fragments. Finally, enzymes proofread to fix any mistakes. I know this because I draw the diagram every single night, my notebook margins filled with the cost of my father's hardware shop and my tuition fees, each enzyme a step towards something stable.
