Q4.6. What does it mean to say that extension by DNA polymerase III proceeds 5'-3'?
O The 5' end of a DNA polymerase molecule attaches to the 3' end of primase.
O DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to a growing strand, moving in the 5'-3' direction.
O DNA polymerase seals nicks as it moves along a DNA strand toward the 3' end.
O DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA at the 5' end of an existing strand of DNA.

Q4.7. In DNA replication, what is the difference between the leading and lagging strands?
In the leading strand, DNA is synthesized 5'→3', while in the lagging strand it is synthesized 3'-5'.
The leading strand is composed of DNA only, while the lagging strand is composed of both RNA and
DNA.
After extension,the leading strand is continuous, while the lagging strand is composed of
disconnected fragments.
The leading strand is synthesized only by DNA polymerase Ill, while the lagging strand is
synthesized only by DNA polymerase l.
