Question
Which of the following best explains why one of the daughter strands must be synthesized discontinuously?
A. The process of termination requires that one of the daughter strands be synthesized in a discontinuous fashion
One of the template strands is discontinuous and it follows from this that one of the daughter strands must be discontinuous as well
One of the DNA strands has it's 3' end oriented into the direction of unwinding and the other DNA strand has it's 3' end oriented away from the direction of unwinding
A. The process of termination requires that one of the daughter strands be synthesized in a discontinuous fashion
B.One of the template strands is discontinuous and it follows from this that one of the daughter strands must be discontinuous as well
C.One of the DNA strands has it's 3' end oriented into the direction of unwinding and the other DNA strand has it's 3' end oriented away from the direction of unwinding
Explanation / Answer
Answer :
C. One of the DNA strands has it's 3' end oriented into the direction of unwinding and the other DNA strand has it's 3' end oriented away from the direction of unwinding.
Explaination: This is the correct option from thr vailable three option in question. During DNA replication template starnd have the opposite orientation in the direction of unwinding of DNA.
