Zoology - Molecular Basis of Inheritance Question with Solution | TestHub

Replication takes place discontinuously and short pieces called okazaki fragments are synthesized.

Both new strands are synthesized in $5^{\prime }-3^{\prime }$ direction. Thus one strand is synthesized forwards and the other backwards.
