MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Why must the lagging strand at a replication fork be replicated in short fragments?

DNA is always replicated in short fragments.

The slower replication requires DNA polymerase to start at several different places.

It is being replicated 3’ to 5’, which is backwards and slower than 5’ to 3’.

It is replicated toward the origin, but the fork is opening away from the origin.

There are several DNA polymerase molecules on the lagging strand.

The following segment of double stranded DNA is transcribed using the sigma factor σ70, which recognizes as a consensus “TTGACA” at +35 and “TATAAT” at -10. Which strand is the template, and in which direction is it read?

Top strand, read to the right.

Bottom strand, read to the right.

Top strand, read to the left.

Bottom strand, read to the left.

Either strand could be the template, read to the right.
