Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following statements regarding DNA replication is false? Explanation: The only false statement is that DNA replication of the lagging strand is continuous.
Detailed explanation-2: -Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. The replication process relies on the fact that each strand of DNA can serve as a template for duplication.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cells must replicate their DNA before they can divide. This ensures that each daughter cell gets a copy of the genome, and therefore, successful inheritance of genetic traits. DNA replication is an essential process and the basic mechanism is conserved in all organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is (D) RNA primase makes the RNA primer, while DNA Pol epsilon extends that primer with DNA. DNA polymerase epsilon is the enzyme that synthesizes new strands of DNA during replication.
