Question

Which of the following statements best describe the manner in which dna polymerase binds to a dna molecule during replication in eukaryotes

A-Dna polymerase binds to one origination site at a time
B-Dna polymerase breaks the hyrdrogen bonding along the molecule like unzipping a long zipper
C-Dna polymerase binds to multiple orginization sites at a time
D-Dna polymerase creates enzymes to be used during mitosis

Answer 1

The answer is C-Dna polymerase binds to multiple orginization sites at a time. During replication, the enzyme DNA polymerase binds to the molecule of DNA. DNA polymerase adds new nucleotides only to the 3' end of the template strand. Since one DNA strand is in the opposite direction, it is replicated discontinuously. Therefore, the replication starts on the several sites to which DNA polymerase binds.
