Consider the following segment of DNA, which is part of a much longer molecule constituting a chromosome:
5′....ATTCGTACGATCGACTGACTGACAGTC....3′ 3′....TAAGCATGCTAGCTGACTGACTGTCAG....5′
If the DNA polymerase starts replicating this segment from the right,
a. which will be the template for the leading strand?
b. Draw the molecule when the DNA polymerase is halfway along this segment.
c. Draw the two complete daughter molecules.
d. Is your diagram in part b compatible with bidirectional replication from a single origin, the usual mode of replication?
