(B) During $	ext{DNA}$ replication,the enzyme $	ext{DNA}$ polymerase can only synthesize a new strand in the $5^{\prime} \longrightarrow 3^{\prime}$

Vedclass · Accepted Answer

$5^{\prime} \longrightarrow 3^{\prime}$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) During $	ext{DNA}$ replication,the enzyme $	ext{DNA}$ polymerase can only synthesize a new strand in the $5^{\prime} \longrightarrow 3^{\prime}$ direction.Because the two strands of the $	ext{DNA}$ double helix are antiparallel,one strand (the leading strand) is synthesized continuously.The other strand (the lagging strand) is synthesized discontinuously in short segments known as Okazaki fragments.Even though these fragments are formed on the lagging strand,each individual Okazaki fragment is still synthesized by $	ext{DNA}$ polymerase in the $5^{\prime} \longrightarrow 3^{\prime}$ direction.
