3- Because all DNA polymerases synthesize DNA in the 5'-to-3' direction; and the parental strands are antiparallel, DNA replication is accomplished with the use of two mechanisms: continuous and discontinuous replication. Indicate whether the following items relate to (1) continuous replication; discontinuous replication, or (3) both modes of replication. 3 primase lagging strand single-strand binding protein Okazaki fragments sliding clamp 3 DNA helicase RNA primers DNA ligase leading strand

a. Daughter strands are formed using complementary base pairing. b. DNA unwinds. c. The DNA of the daughter strands winds together with its parent strand. 2. Why is DNA replication called "semi-conservative"? 3. What enzyme unwinds or unzips the parent strand? 4. What enzyme connects the new bases to the old bases in the DNA template? 5. ___ DNA replication results in two DNA molecules, a. each with two new strands b. one with two new strands and one with 2 original strands c. each with two original strands d. each with one new strand and one original strand 6. ___ DNA replication is said to be semiconservative because: a. both RNA and DNA synthesis are involved in the process. b. part of the telomere is lost during each round of replication. c. a new double helix contains one old and one new strand. d. each new strand is complementary, not identical, to its template.

Watson and Crick suggested that, during DNA replication, the daughter DNA contains (A) both strands newly synthesized, (B) one strand from each of the parents, (C) one strand of parental origin while the other is newly synthesized, or (D) both parental strands.
