26. The lagging strand is characterized by a series of short segments of DNA (Okazaki fragments) that will be joined together to form a finished lagging strand. The experiments that led to the discovery of Okazaki fragments gave evidence for which of the following ideas? (A) DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication only in one direction. (B) DNA is a polymer consisting of four monomers: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. (C) DNA is the genetic material. (D) Bacterial replication is fundamentally different from eukaryotic replication. The key should not be way longer than the distractors.
