During $DNA$ replication, why is it that the entire molecule does not open in one go ? Explain replication fork. What are the two functions that the monomers $(dNTPs)$ play ?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

For long $DNA$ molecules, since the two strands of $DNA$ cannot be separated in its entire length (due to very high energy requirement), the replication occur within a small opening of the $DNA$ helix, referred to as replication fork.
