Q

(T/F) DNA replication in eukaryotes is sped up by multiple origins of replication.

17
Q

Which nucleotide is different in RNA compared to DNA?

18
Q

(T/F) In the lagging stand, the DNA is read from the parental DNA’s 3’ to 5’ end.

19
Q

(T/F) The DNA polymerase that replicates the parental strand of DNA reads the parental DNA from 5’ to 3” and makes a new DNA strand from 3’ to 5’.

A

False (Reads from 3’-5’ on parental strand and replicate 5’-3’)
