Question

Which of the following statements are correct: A. In bacteria, RNA primers are removed by the action of polymerase II.
B. In bacteria, polymerase III synthesizes both leading and lagging strands of DNA.
C. In eukaryotes, Polymerase $\delta$ is responsible for synthesis of the lagging strand.
D. In eukaryotes, Polymerase $\varepsilon$ is responsible for synthesis of leading strands.

• A. A, B and C Only
• B. A, C and D Only
• C. B, C and D Only
• D. C and D Only

Hint:

Pol 1 is for “1st step” cleanup (primers); $\varepsilon$ (Epsilon) is for “Early/Easy” (Leading strand).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1--3: Analysis
Statement A is false: DNA Polymerase I removes primers in bacteria, not Pol II. Statement B is true. Statements C and D are true.

Step 4: Conclusion
B, C, and D are correct.

Final Answer: (C)
