Which of the following statement is correct regarding the process...

Which of the following statement is correct regarding the process of replication in E.coli?

Options

  1. AThe DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in one direction, that is 5′→35^{\prime} \rightarrow 3 '
  2. BThe DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in 5′→3′5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime} as well as 3′→53^{\prime} \rightarrow 5 ' direction
  3. CThe DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in 5′→3′5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime} direction
  4. DThe DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in one direction that is 3′→5′3^{\prime} \rightarrow 5^{\prime}

Correct answer

C. The DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in 5′→3′5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime} direction

Step-by-step solution

Sol. In Prokaryotes, like E.coli during replication, the DNA dependent DNA polymerase cataly >\gt polymerization only in one direction, that is 5′→3′5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime}
