C. The replication fork encounters a lesion and bypasses it, restarting synthesis on the other side of the lesion.

CAM plants keep stomata closed in the daytime, thus reducing loss of water. They can do this because they _____

A) fix CO2 into organic acids during the night B) fix CO2 into sugars in the bundle-sheath cells C) fix CO2 into pyruvate in the mesophyll cells D) use the enzyme phosphofructokinase, which outcompetes rubisco for CO2 E) use photosystem I and photosystem II at night
