Because all DNA polymerases synthesize DNA in the 5?-to-3? direction, and the parental strands are antiparallel, DNA replication is accomplished with the use of two mechanisms: continuous and discontinuous replication

Indicate whether the following items relate to (1) continuous replication, (2) discontinuous replication, or (3) both modes of replication.

______ primase
______ single-strand binding protein
______ sliding clamp
______ RNA primers
______ leading strand
______ lagging strand
______ Okazaki fragments
______ DNA helicase
______ DNA ligase
