(d) result in transcription
Correct Answer:
polymerize in the ‘5-to-3′ direction and explain 3′-to-5’ DNA replication
Explanation:
Okazaki fragments in DNA are linked up by the enzyme DNA ligase. Replication alays ocur in 5′ – 3′ direction. Okazaki fragments synthesised on 3′ – 5′ DNA template, join to form lagging strand which grows in 3′ – 5′ direction.
