Q6) During DNA replication, the addition of nucleotides on the lagging strand occurs A) towards the replicating fork B) at a faster rate than leading strand C) continuously D) discontinuously

Correct option: D

Explanation: At replication fork, both strands are synthesized in a 5’-3’ direction. The leading strand is synthesized regularly, while lagging strand is synthesized in pieces. During DNA replication, the addition of nucleotides on the lagging strand occurs discontinuously.
