MULTI-SELECT QUESTION
Replication:
A) Leading strand is synthesized by Polymerase III in eukaryotes
B) Lagging strand is synthesized after Leading strand is synthesized
C) Leading strand synthesis is discontinuous
D) Leading strand synthesis reuquires a primer
A) Leading strand is synthesized by Polymerase III in eukaryotes
D) Leading strand synthesis reuquires a primer
Explanation:
DNA polymerase III begins the synthesis of the leading strand by using the RNA primer formed by primase.
Both strands synthesis starts at the same time but leading strand is synthesized faster than the lagging strand.
Leading strand synthesis is continuous and lagging strand synthesis is discontinuous.
Both strans synthesis require primers
