Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of steps in DNA replication is as follows: 
1) Weak bonds between nitrogenous bases of the DNA are disrupted 
2) DNA strands unwind 
3) DNA polymerase binds to exposed nitrogenous bases 
4) Nitrogenous bases of the DNA strand attract complementary nucleotides 
5) Ligases link together short complementary chains of nucleotides

Option B outlines these steps in the correct order, while the other options have incorrect sequencing of steps.
