What would you observe in a cell in which Primase's rate of activity was reduced to 50% of its normal levels? O It would take twice as long to replicate all of the DNA. O Replication of the leading strand would be almost normal, but the lagging strand would take much longer to synthesize. O DNA replication would proceed at a normal rate and the overall time for one round of replication would not be significantly changed. O DNA replication would cease.
