Question

The figure below shows a replication fork in a segment of DNA, with the upper template strand running from left to right in the 3' to 5' direction. (4 points; 1 point each) 1. 5' Upper strand repliratiorfork moves thisway 3* Lower Strand A. Along which template strand (upper or lower) does continuous synthesis occur? B. Along which template strand are numerous Okazaki fragments formed? C. Along which template strand are numerous RNA primers synthesized? D. Along which template strand is the leading strand formed?
