What can be said about the leading versus the lagging strand in DNA population?

A)The leading strand is replicated continuously for the entire length of the chromosome, while the lagging strand is replicated in pieces.

B)The lagging strand has a higher mutation rate than the leading strand.

C)The lagging strand is synthesized in a semiconservative fashion while the leading strand is synthesized in a conservative fashion.

D)Synthesis of the lagging strand requires more helicase enzymes than synthesis of the leading strand.

<p>True or False:&#160; During DNA replication, leading strand synthesis occurs faster than lagging strand synthesis due to the fact that Okazaki fragment synthesis is more involved (i.e., uses many RNA primers and requires constant reloading of DNA Pol onto the DNA); however, the cells makes up for the difference at the end.</p>

During DNA replication, which of the following would you expectto be true?
True or False: and why.

1. More ligase would be associated with the lagging strand thanwith the leading strand.
2. More primase would be associated with the lagging strand thanwith the leading strand.
3. More helicase would be associated with the lagging strand thanwith the leading strand.
4. DNA ligase links the 3' end of one Okazaki fragment to the 5'end of another Okazaki fragment in the lagging strand.
5. In the lagging strand, the enzyme DNA polymerase III thatproduces the next Okazaki fragment also removes the short segmentof primer RNA on the previous Okazaki fragment.
