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′.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
