What can you conclude about dna replication from this diagram


Asked by maham237 @ in Biology viewed by 333 People


A. Both original strands are replicated in the same direction.
B. The two original strands are replicated in opposite directions.
C. Only one complementary strand is replicated.
D. Each original strand is broken apart and nucleotides are reused

Answered by maham237 @



Although there is no attachment, the best answer would be option B.

DNA replication occurs in opposite directions along a strand of DNA.

The leading strand is replicated continuously in the 5' to 3' direction towards the replication fork.

The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in the 5' to 3' with segments of DNA known as Okazaki fragments.
