Vedclass · Answer

(C) $DNA$ replication occurs in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction. The two strands of the $DNA$ double helix are antiparallel. At the replication fork,one strand (the leading strand) is synthesized continuously in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction towards the replication fork. The other strand (the lagging strand) is synthesized discontinuously in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction away from the replication fork,forming Okazaki fragments. In the provided options,Diagram $C$ correctly shows the template strands with $5'$ and $3'$ ends and the synthesis of new strands in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction,where the top strand is synthesized continuously and the bottom strand is synthesized discontinuously.

Which of the following diagrams correctly represents the process of $DNA$ replication at the replication fork?
