The five kingdoms of living organisms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Monera is for single-celled individuals which just absorb nutrients from the cell wall. Protista is for protists, fungi is for muticellular organisms, plantae is to plants and animalia is to animals. The common structure among them is DNA>

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

A) DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand from the template strands. Both the strands in a DNA molecule act as templates, however both of them have different orientation. It was observed that 3'-5' template DNA produced a new DNA strand continuously in one step. However, 5'-3' template produced new DNA strand in fragments which were joined together later. This observation gave the idea that DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme. It synthesizes DNA in 5'-3' direction so 3'-5' template gave rise to a continuous DNA segment. However, for 5'-3' template, DNA polymerase had to synthesize in opposite direction i.e. 3'-5' which was not possible directly. So the enzyme replicates it in short separate fragments which are later joined by DNA ligase.
