Which event does not occur during dna replication?
a. unwinding of the parent double helix by helicase
b. formation of short pieces that are connected by dna ligase
c. complementary base pairing
d. use of a rna primer
e. polymerization in the 3′-to-5′ direction by dna polymerase?

Respuesta :

E. polymerization in the 3′-to-5′ direction by DNA polymerase?

"Important note: DNA is read in 3' to 5' direction whereas a new strand is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction - this is entirely logical but is often confused"

Polymerization in 3′-to-5′ direction by DNA polymerase does not occur during DNA replication. The correct option is e.

What is DNA replication?

The process by which the genome's DNA is copied in cells is known as DNA replication. Before dividing, a cell must copy its entire genome so that each eventually results in daughter cell has its own complete genome.

Because DNA polymerase acts on the 3'-OH of the existing strand to add free nucleotides, replication proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.

Thus, the correct option is e.
