Where are primers located during DNA replication in a eukaryotic cell? Option A covalently attached to the 3' end of the leading strand Option B covalently attached to the 3' end the lagging strand Option C covalently attached to the 5' end of the leading strand Option D covalently attached to the 5' end of the lagging strand Option E covalently attached to the 3' end of the leading strand and covalently attached to the 3' end of the lagging strand Option F covalently attached to the 5' end of the leading strand and covalently attached to the 5' end of the lagging strand Option G covalently attached to the 3' end of the leading strand and covalently attached to the 5' end of the lagging strand Option H covalently attached to the 5' end of the leading strand and covalently attached to the 3' end of the lagging strand

The primer used for DNA replication $a$. is a short strand of RNA added to the 3 ' end. $b$. is present only once on the leading strand. $c$. remains on the DNA after replication. d. ensures that there will be a free 5 ' end to which nucleotides can be added. $e$ is added to only one of the two template strands.
