Which of the following statement correctly describes DNA replication?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ligases link the Okazaki fragments, which are short, discontinuous fragments on the lagging strand, to form a continuous strand. The leading strand is replicated continuously, while the lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in small fragments. The direction of replication is 5' to 3', meaning that nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the new strand. The two strands are replicated semi-conservatively, meaning that each new double-stranded DNA molecule contains one old strand and one new strand.
