Question

In which direction does the dna polymerase move on the lagging strand during polymerization events?

Answer 1

DNA polymerase is one of the key enzymes in DNA replication and it is responsible for synthesis of DNA. They function by adding nucleotide one by one to the growing DNA by incorporating only those that are complementary to the template. Hence, DNA polymerase synthesized in 5′ → 3′ polymerization of lagging strand which leads to overall growth in the 3′ → 5′ direction.
