Which of the statements about DNA replication is true? Single-strand binding proteins stabilize the open conformation of the unwound DNA. Okazaki fragments are DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand. DNA polymerase adds dNTP monomers in the 5'-3' direction. DNA Gyrase unwinds the DNA double helix.

Which of the following is true regarding DNA replication? The template strand is read in a 3' to 5' direction. An adenine on the parent strand will pair with an adenine on the daughter strand. The lagging strand is synthesized in pieces which are joined by helicase. DNA primers are added to start replication. The leading strand is synthesized toward the origin of replication.

Which of the statements regarding DNA replication are true? Replication usually takes place in the 5' to 3' direction. New nucleotides add to the 5' hydroxyl of the growing DNA molecule. Leading strand fragments (Okazaki fragments) are synthesized semi-discontinuously and must be joined by DNA ligase. Eukaryotic chromosomes have more than one origin of replication. Replication takes place in the 5' to 3' direction on the lagging strand and in the 3' to 5' direction on the leading strand.
