Question

question 5
which is correct about dna replication
dna replicates in a conservative manner
the place where the parent dna becomes unzipped and replication begins is called the replication fork
dna polymerase adds nucleotides onto both the 5 and 3 ends of any dna strand
the strand made continuously is called the lagging strand

Explanation:

• DNA replication is semi - conservative, not conservative. So the option "DNA replicates in a conservative manner" is wrong.
• DNA polymerase adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction only. So the option "DNA polymerase adds nucleotides onto both the 5' and 3' ends of any DNA strand" is wrong.
• The strand made continuously is the leading strand, not the lagging strand. So the option "the strand made continuously is called the lagging strand" is wrong.
• The place where the parent DNA becomes unzipped and replication begins is called the replication fork. This is a correct statement about DNA replication.

Answer:

the place where the parent DNA becomes unzipped and replication begins is called the replication fork
