複選題22. Please select the CORRECT description from the following options which are related to DNA synthesis during cell replication (A) DNA synthesis can be either direction depends on where the primer is located (B) The short DNA fragments formed during DNA replication is called okazaki fragment (C) During DNA replication, short DNA will serve as a primer for the synthesis of new DNA strand (D) Ligation between DNA fragments only occurs during DNA repair, not standard DNA replication process (E) Since DNA polymerase can faithfully replicate the other strand of DNA, the length of DNA is always the same
