Question

Why do we find multiple, short RNA pieces inserted into the lagging DNA strand during DNA replication?

Question 43 options:

	the DNA polymerase is replaced by the RNA polymerase in these regions for unknown reasons
	the DNA polymerase doesn't copy flawless and adds sometime uracil instead of thymine to the growing daughter nucleotide strand
	multiple RNA primers have been added with the help of the primase enzyme to create multiple start sites for the DNA polymerase
	Retroviruses sometimes like to insert their RNA into the replication fork and favor the lagging strand
	multiple RNA pieces are most likely found in the leading not the lagging strand during DNA replication
