The polarity of the DNA strands from a to b and from c to d shown during replicating shown in the figure below would be:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

DNA polymerases required for the DNA replication can catalyse polymerization in only one direction that is 5′ to 3′. Thus, on one strand (the template with polarity 3′ to 5′), the replication is continuous, while on the other (the template with polarity 5′ to 3′), it is discontinuous.
