Distinguish between (a) unidirectional and bidirectional synthesis, and (b) continuous and discontinuous synthesis of DNA.
The following statements are correct EXCEPT:
A) Information in the DNA is transcribed int mRNA and translated into proteins
B) Information in the DNA is translated int mRNA and transcribed into proteins
C) Information in the DNA is copied by DNA polymerase
D) The lagging strand during DNA replication is synthesized continuously to form the okazaki fragments
E) B and D
Explain the complexities of DNA replication that make the process (a) bidirectional and (b) continuous in one strand and discontinuous in the other.
