During DNA replication, why does one of the two strands have to be replicated discontinuously?


◦ It uses a special DNA polymerase that can only synthesize in fragments.
◦ The direction of replication is the opposite of the movement of the replication fork.
◦ The DNA polymerase must periodically detach in order to replicate the opposite strand.
◦ The new strand is susceptible to digestion by endonucleases.
◦ The DNA polymerase is able to replicate DNA either 5′-3′ or 3′-5′.
