Multiple Choice
Why are leading and lagging strand primers removed rather than joined with Okazaki fragments?
A) They lack the 3' OH that would permit them to be covalently linked to the Okazaki fragments.
B) The primers do not hydrogen bond to the template strand correctly.
C) They contain nucleotides with 2'OH groups, and are targeted for excision by DNA Polymerase.
D) They have to be removed for leading and lagging strand synthesis to begin.
E) Primers are too short to efficiently bind to Okazaki fragments.
