Question

Please answer !!!

The image shows a strand of DNA. In order for the nucleotides to pair up, the strands run antiparallel to each other so hydrogen bonds can form between them. How does this nucleotide structure affect DNA replication?

A. The origin of replication can be located at any point along the DNA strand.
B.A lagging strand and a leading strand are created since each strand must be replicated in a 5' to 3' direction.
C. It makes it sible for both strands to be replicated at the same time.
D. The bonds between the nucleotides are weak due to this arrangement so are easy to break to unzip the DNA for replication.

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to this arrangement a lagging strand (discontinous ) called okazaki fragments and leading strand (continuous) are created.
