Question
Discontinuous synthesis of DNA occurs in one strand, because ______.
Options
DNA dependent DNA polymearse catalyses polymerisation only in one direction (5' → 3')
DNA molecule being synthesised is very long
it is a more efficient process
DNA ligase has to have a role
Solution
Discontinuous synthesis of DNA occurs in one strand, because DNA dependent DNA polymearse catalyses polymerisation only in one direction (5' → 3').
