Which of the following statements about DNA synthesis at the replication fork of a replicating DNA molecule is FALSE? a - Double-stranded DNA synthesis requires both deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides b - The sequence of each newly synthesized single strand is identical to that of the parental single strand that served as its template c - Nucleotides are added at the 3’ ends of all the new strands in a replicating DNA molecule d - One of the two new strands must be synthesized in fragments because the two strands have opposite directionality
