14 During DNA replication one of the new strands of DNA is synthesized continuously while the other is synthesized as a number of separate fragments of DNA that are subsequently linked by DNA ligase This is because replication starts at many points on the chromosome a RNA primers only anneal to one of the parental strands of DNA DNA polymerase III only synthesizes DNA in the 3 direction one of the parental strands is unwound slower than the other by helicase DNA polymerase III only synthesizes DNA in the 5 3 direction b C d e
