|
The elongation of the leading strand during DNA synthesis
|
|
progresses away from the replication fork.
|
|
|
occurs in the 3’ to 5’ direction.
|
|
|
produces Okazaki fragments
|
|
|
depends on the action of DNA polymerase
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The elongation phase of DNA replication depends on the activity of the enzymes such as DNA polymerase. Therefore, the given statement is true.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pol initiates DNA synthesis on both the leading and lagging strands by synthesizing a RNA/DNA hybrid primer. The replicative DNA polymerases, Pol and Pol , then extend the DNA synthesis from the primer.
