Question

DNA replication in the two strands proceed in opposite direction as they are aligned oppositely with respect to 3’ and 5’ ends
( 5’——————————-3’
3’——————————-5’).

In this context which of the following is true.

a.

The two arms of the DNA Pol are exactly same with same orientation

b.

The two arms of the DNA Pol are exactly same with opposite orientation

c.

The two arms of the DNA Pol have different catalytic mechanism i.e. one polymerizes 3’ -> 5’ other 5’ -> 3’

d.

The two arms are isomers i.e. they have different arrangement of the subunits.
