Vedclass · Answer

(C) During $DNA$ replication,the two strands of the $DNA$ double helix separate to form a replication fork. The enzyme $DNA$ polymerase synthesizes new strands only in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction. $1$. The template strand with $3' \rightarrow 5'$ polarity allows for continuous synthesis of the leading strand in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction towards the replication fork. $2$. The template strand with $5' \rightarrow 3'$ polarity results in the discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand (Okazaki fragments) in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction away from the replication fork. $3$. In option $C$,the template strand has $5'$ at the top and $3'$ at the bottom. The top strand $(5' \rightarrow 3')$ acts as the template for the lagging strand,and the bottom strand $(3' \rightarrow 5')$ acts as the template for the leading strand. This orientation correctly depicts the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ synthesis of new $DNA$ strands.

List $I$	List $II$
$A$. Frederick Griffith	$I$. Genetic code
$B$. Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod	$II$. Semi-conservative mode of $DNA$ replication
$C$. Har Gobind Khorana	$III$. Transformation
$D$. Meselson and Stahl	$IV$. $Lac$ operon

Which of the following figures correctly represents the replication fork formed during $DNA$ replication?
