Suppose a New Species of Bacteria Was Found That Contained

Suppose a new species of bacteria was found that contained a form of DNA polymerase III that can add new nucleotides to either the 5' end or the 3' end of an existing strand. All other properties of the DNA polymerase III enzyme remain unchanged. In addition, these bacteria contain all of the other enzymes and proteins relevant to DNA synthesis that are found in E. coli. How would DNA replication in these new bacteria differ from replication in E. coli?

A) Both new strands could be synthesized continuously
B) Both new strands could be synthesized discontinuously
C) DNA pol I would no longer be required for replication
D) DNA ligase would no longer be required for replication
