Compare and contrast elongation of DNA synthesis at leading and lagging strands in REPLICATION of bacteria DNA.
Added by Ashley B.
Step 1
- The leading strand is synthesized by DNA polymerase III, which adds nucleotides to the growing DNA chain. - The leading strand is elongated in a continuous manner, as the DNA polymerase III moves along the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction. Show more…
