Describe the process of DNA replication as if explaining it to a fellow classmate. Imagine there is an unlabelled diagram in front of you to guide your explanation. (Try to include as many relevant proteins and concepts as possible to help demonstrate an understanding, eg. DNA Helicase, Okazaki Fragments, etc).

Which statement below best describes what these data might have demonstrated to Kornberg about the process of replication? CHOOSE ONE and explain the rationale behind your answer in a minimum of four sentences. A. Products of replication are DNA polymers. B. DNA Pol I-mediated replication is a high-fidelity (i.e., no mistakes) process C.

Why does DNA have a leading strand and a lagging strand during replication?Select the correct row below that fills in the following blanks to answer the question above.___1st___ has to attach the new free-floating nucleotides to the ___2nd___ of the newly formed strand.
