14. DNA Synthesis
Leading & Lagging DNA Strands
Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceThe mechanisms of DNA synthesis differs between the two new daughter strands during replication. This is due to the fact that:
A
one RNA primer attaches to the 5' end of the parent strand and the other primer to the 3' end.
B
Both daughter strands can't extend toward the replication fork because there would not be room for two DNA polymerase enzymes.
C
Both RNA primers attach to the 3' end of the template strands, which are at opposite ends from each other.
D
The DNA strands run antiparallel to each other and the DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing strand.
