Question

@mehek14
In DNA replication, the leading strand _____________________.

uses fragments connected by ligase to form a new strand of DNA because the DNA clamp cannot hold the DNA polymerase in place
is replicated in a discontinuous fashion because DNA polymerase produces strands in a 3’ to 5’ direction
does not require any DNA polymerase enzymes to form a new strand of DNA
is formed in a continuous sequence because DNA polymerase produces strands in a 5’ to 3’ direction

Answer 1

your thoughts?

Answer 2

I'm thinking it's replicated in a discontinuous fashion but I'm not really sure

Answer 3

I would say the opposite because it says here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase

`When creating DNA, DNA polymerase can add free nucleotides only to the 3' end of the newly forming strand. This results in elongation of the newly forming strand in a 5'-3' direction.`

Thanks!
