Exam 4 Extra study

Which of the following build(s) new strands of DNA?

Which statement about DNA replication is CORRECT?

The leading strand is one of the strands of parental DNA.

The leading strand is built continuously, and the lagging strand is built in pieces.

The lagging strand is built continuously. DNA ligase helps assemble the leading strand.

The lagging strand is one of the strands of parental DNA.

During DNA replication, which nucleotide will bind to an A nucleotide in the parental DNA?

The molecule that seals the gaps between the pieces of DNA in the lagging strand is

Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE?

The lagging strand is made of a series of pieces that must be joined together to make a continuous strand.

The two strands of parental DNA are separated during DNA replication.

DNA polymerase builds a new strand by adding DNA nucleotides one at a time.

Because the two strands of parental DNA run in opposite directions, the new strands must be made in different ways.

DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand.
