Semi-conservative and semi-discontinuous

Vedclass · Answer

(B) $DNA$ replication is described as semi-conservative because each new $DNA$ molecule consists of one parental strand and one newly synthesized strand. Furthermore,it is semi-discontinuous because one strand (the leading strand) is synthesized continuously in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction,while the other strand (the lagging strand) is synthesized in short fragments known as Okazaki fragments,which are later joined by $DNA$ ligase.
