Unscramble the Blue Letters

And so what I'm about to show you is an accurate roeesteatiprnn of the actual DNA replication machine that's occurring right now inside your body, at least 2002 biology. So DNA's eeninrtg the production line from the left-hand side, and it hits this coltoeicln, these miniature biochemical machines, that are plinlug apart the DNA strand and mainkg an exact copy. So DNA comes in and hits this blue, doughnut-shaped srcrttuue and it's ripped apart into its two strands. One strand can be copied directly, and you can see these things spooling off to the bottom there. But things aren't so simple for the other strand because it must be copied backwards. So it's thrown out repeatedly in these loops and cpoied one section at a time, creating two new DNA molecules.

And so what I'm about to show you is an accurate ______________ of the actual DNA replication machine that's occurring right now inside your body, at least 2002 biology. So DNA's ________ the production line from the left-hand side, and it hits this __________, these miniature biochemical machines, that are _______ apart the DNA strand and ______ an exact copy. So DNA comes in and hits this blue, doughnut-shaped _________ and it's ripped apart into its two strands. One strand can be copied directly, and you can see these things spooling off to the bottom there. But things aren't so simple for the other strand because it must be copied backwards. So it's thrown out repeatedly in these loops and ______ one section at a time, creating two new DNA molecules.

Original Text

And so what I'm about to show you is an accurate representation of the actual DNA replication machine that's occurring right now inside your body, at least 2002 biology. So DNA's entering the production line from the left-hand side, and it hits this collection, these miniature biochemical machines, that are pulling apart the DNA strand and making an exact copy. So DNA comes in and hits this blue, doughnut-shaped structure and it's ripped apart into its two strands. One strand can be copied directly, and you can see these things spooling off to the bottom there. But things aren't so simple for the other strand because it must be copied backwards. So it's thrown out repeatedly in these loops and copied one section at a time, creating two new DNA molecules.
