none of these
 

 6. 

Interactive question 16.6
Why is DNA shortened during DNA replication?
a.
DNA cannot grow on the 3’ end after the primer is removed because because no 3’ end is available for DNA polymerase
b.
DNA cannot grow on the 5’ end after the primer is removed because because no 3’ end is available for DNA polymerase
c.
DNA cannot grow on the 3’ end after the primer is removed because because no 5’ end is available for DNA polymerase
d.
DNA cannot grow on the 5’ end after the primer is removed because because no 5’ end is available for DNA polymerase
