For the statements below, indicate whether the statement applies to the leading strand, or to the lagging strand, or to both. a. synthesized in the 5'→3' direction b. synthesized continuously c. require(s) DNA ligase to join fragments d. described as a daughter strand e. synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork f. DNA polymerase is the enzyme involved in forming this polynucleotide.
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

f. DNA polymerase is the enzyme involved in forming this polynucleotide.
1. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication is the process in which new complementary DNA strands are synthesized with the help of several protein complexes and enzymes.
