Answer: genome.
- A genome
- B ribosome
- C chromosome
- D enzyme
Correct answer: A. genome
Explanation: The genome is the entire genetic information of an organism.
Helicase unwinds the double helix at the replication fork; one new strand (leading) is synthesised continuously toward the fork, while the other (lagging) must be made in short, separate Okazaki fragments because DNA polymerase only adds nucleotides 5'→3'.
Concept context
DNA structure, replication, transcription, translation, the genetic code, and gene regulation (lac operon). The single most important chapter for NEET molecular biology.
