Any other issues arising from this exercise?

IV. DNA replication

A. How far have you gotten in the part 1 of the notes entitled DNA Replication, Part I?
     

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics regarding DNA replication:

B. The need for a pre-existing 3'-OH end, generally an RNA primer

C. The concepts of leading and lagging strands

D. The requirement that DNA synthesis always proceeds 5' to 3'

E. Proofreading and accuracy
