Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semidiscontinuous describes the replication of DNA in vivo, where one strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction, while the other strand is synthesized in a discontinuous manner, forming Okazaki fragments. Conservative and dispersive are outdated models of DNA replication, nonlinear and nonreciprocal do not accurately describe the process of DNA replication.
