Question from Campbell Biology Chapter 16:
51) What is the basis for the difference in how the leading and lagging strands of DNA molecules are synthesized?
AThe origins of replication occur only at the 5' end.
BHelicases and single-strand binding proteins work at the 5' end.
CDNA polymerase can join new nucleotides only to the 3' end of a growing strand.
DDNA ligase works only in the 3' → 5' direction.
EPolymerase can work on only one strand at a time.
