    The okazaki fragments in DNA chain growth

    A) polymerize in the 3' - to - 5' direction and forms replication fork

    B) proves semi-conservative nature of DNA replication

    C) polymerize in the 5' - to - 3' direction and explain 3' - to - 5' DNA replication

    D) result in transcription

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Okazaki fragments in DNA are linked up by the enzyme DNA ligase. Replication always occur in 5' - 3' direction. Okazaki fragments synthesized on 3' - 5' DNA template, join to form lagging strand which grows in 5' - 3' direction.
