Question 37

(Multiple Choice)

Complementary strands of a DNA double helix have opposite chemical polarity but are synthesized in the same direction (replication fork movement).This is accounted for by:


A) Using a 3'Complementary strands of a DNA double helix have opposite chemical polarity but are synthesized in the same direction (replication fork movement).This is accounted for by: A) Using a 3' 5' polymerase to synthesize the lagging strand. B) Using discontinuous synthesis on the leading strand. C) Using the polymerase activity of DNA ligase. D) Using the 5' 3' polymerase activity of Pol III to synthesize multiple short segments which are later covalently joined. E) None of these5' polymerase to synthesize the lagging strand.
B) Using discontinuous synthesis on the leading strand.
C) Using the polymerase activity of DNA ligase.
D) Using the 5'11ed123a_61b5_54ab_923d_9f4380d69b9d_TB5884_003' polymerase activity of Pol III to synthesize multiple short segments which are later covalently joined.
