O b. The leading strand is synthesized by one polymerase III continuously, and the lagging strand is synthesized by several molecules of DNA polymerase III. d. The leading and lagging strands are synthesized at the same time by the one DNA polymerase I. O c. The leading and lagging strands are synthesized at the same time by the one DNA polymerase III. The leading strand is synthesized by one polymerase III, and the lagging strand is synthesized by DNA polymerase I.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If a statement is false, explain why it is false. A. The repair polymerase is the enzyme that proofreads the newly synthesized strands to ensure the accuracy of DNA replication. B. There is a single enzyme that degrades the RNA primers and lays down the corresponding DNA sequence behind it. C. DNA ligase is required to seal the sugar-phosphate backbone between all the DNA fragments on the lagging strand. D. The repair polymerase does not require the aid of the sliding clamp, because it is only synthesizing DNA over very short stretches. Answer the following questions about DNA replication.
