Okazaki fragments are small pieces of DNA synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand of DNA during replication (true or false) 2. during replication DNA polymerase synthesize DNA in the 5 or 3 direction (true or false

The enzymatic activity of prokaryotic DNA polymerases is faster than that of eukaryotic DNA polymerases, but the overall rate of DNA replication is faster in eukaryotes than prokaryotes.  How is this possible?  Group of answer choices Prokaryotic but not eukaryotic DNA replication requires a primer. Eukaryotic but not prokaryotic DNA replication proceeds from multiple origins. Prokaryotic DNA replication is a more complex process, with time-consuming polymerase switching that is not needed in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic but not eukaryotic DNA replication proceeds from both 5’ --> 3’ and 3’ --> 5’ Prokaryotic DNA polymerases and not eukaryotic polymerases have proofreading ability.

The discontinuous aspect of replication of DNA in vivo is caused by trinucleotide repeats lack of primase formation DNA polymerase slippage DNA supercoiling the 5' to 3' polarity restriction in DNA synthesis OOO OO

#2 under Process: Bases pair up quickly on the leading strand, however, the bases have to be filled in backwards on the lagging strand and so it takes longer to complete this half of the DNA strand.   True   False
