False

DNA ligase is required to seal the sugar-phosphate backbone between all the DNA fragments on the lagging strand.

True

There is a single enzyme that degrades the RNA primers and lays down the corresponding DNA sequence behind it.

The repair polymerase does not require the aid of the sliding clamp, because it is only synthesizing DNA over very short stretches.
