3. In DNA replication, the leading strand _____________________. is formed in a continuous sequence because DNA polymerase produces strands in a 5’ to 3’ direction uses fragments connected by ligase to form a new strand of DNA because the DNA clamp cannot hold the DNA polymerase in place is replicated in a discontinuous fashion because DNA polymerase produces strands in a 3’ to 5’ direction does not require any DNA polymerase enzymes to form a new strand of DNA
