Molecular Basis Of Inheritance

Question

Wired Faculty App

Name the enzyme and state its property that is responsible for continuous and discontinuous replication of the two strands of a DNA molecule.

Solution

The enzyme involved in the process of replication is DNA dependent DNA polymerase. This enzyme catalyzes polymerization only in one direction, i.e., 5’ → 3’. As a result on template strand with 3’ → 5’ the replication is continuous while on the template strand with polarity 5’→3’ replication is discontinuous.
