the two strand are antiparallel and the new strand must be formed on the old(parent) strand in opposite directions one of the new strand is formed as a continuous occur in long chain in the 5'_3' directions on 3'_5' strand of dna this is called the leading strand..

Does DNA replication take place in the same direction along both strands of the DNA?

No, DNA replication does not take place in the same direction along both strands of the DNA. It occurs in opposite directions on the two strands, known as the leading and lagging strands.


Compare the leading and lagging strands during replication?

The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction, making replication faster and more efficient. The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short fragments called Okazaki fragments, which are later joined together by DNA ligase. This process of replication is slower and requires additional steps compared to the leading strand.


Is RNA polymerase used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication?

No, RNA polymerase is not used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication. RNA polymerase is responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA during gene expression, while DNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands during replication. DNA polymerase is used on both the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication.

What characteristic of DNA allows two connected DNA polymerases to synthesize both the leading and lagging strands?

The antiparallel nature of DNA strands allows for simultaneous synthesis of leading and lagging strands. One polymerase moves in the 5' to 3' direction along the leading strand, while a second polymerase moves in the opposite direction on the lagging strand to create short Okazaki fragments.


Is The lagging strand the strands of parental DNA?

which statement about dna replication is correct? A. the leading strand is one of the strands of parnetal Dna b. the leading strand is built continuously, and the lagging strand is built in pieces c. the lagging strand is one of the strands of parental Dna d. Dna ligase helps assemble the leading strand e. the lagging strand is built continuously


When are fibrous strands poorly aligned?

Fibrous strands are poorly aligned in tissues with disorganized collagen fibers, such as in scar tissue or when healing occurs rapidly, leading to a weaker and less functional structure. This lack of alignment can affect the mechanical strength and flexibility of the tissue.

Why is it relatively easy for the 2 strands of a DNA molecule to come apart so that they can participate in DNA synthesis?

The hydrogen bonds between the base pairs on the DNA strands are relatively weak, allowing the strands to separate easily during DNA synthesis. This separation enables each strand to serve as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand, leading to accurate DNA replication.
