Which of the following statements about the newly synthesized strand of a human chromosome is true?
(a) It was synthesized from a single origin solely by continuous DNA synthesis.
(b) It was synthesized from a single origin by a mixture of continuous and discontinuous DNA synthesis.
(c) It was synthesized from multiple origins solely by discontinuous DNA synthesis.
(d) It was synthesized from multiple origins by a mixture of continuous and discontinuous DNA synthesis.
(d) Each newly synthesized strand in a daughter duplex was synthesized by a mixture of continuous and discontinuous DNA synthesis from multiple origins. Consider a single replication origin. The fork moving in one direction synthesizes a daughter strand continuously as part of leading-strand synthesis; the fork moving in the opposite direction synthesizes a portion of the same daughter strand discontinuously as part of lagging-strand synthesis.

Use the following information to answer the following question(s): You wake up one morning feeling slightly under the weather. A close family member enthusiastically suggests that you take some Echinacea, an herb commonly used as a cold remedy. You then decide to design an experiment to test Echinacea and see if this claim is true. You think, "If taken at the beginning of a cold, Echinacea will reduce cold symptoms."You conduct the experiment and gather the data presented in the figure below.
