Although the sliding clamp is only loaded once on the leading strand, the lagging strand needs to unload the clamp once the polymerase reaches the RNA primer from the previous segment and then reload it where a new primer has been synthesized.a) trueb) false

Respuesta :

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is because, on the lagging template strand which is in the 5' to 3', the new DNA is synthesized in fragments known as okazaki fragments in 5'- 3' direction facing away from the replication fork for each fragment, thus the polymerase has to be dissociated after forming each fragment and then reattached to a new one and this is aided by the sliding clamp.
