Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE? A) The lagging strand is made of a series of pieces that must be joined together to make a continuous strand.

C) DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand: DNA ligase does not add nucleotides; it joins the DNA fragments. DNA polymerase adds nucleotides.
