1. Replace purine with pyrimidines
2. Remove/Replace 3' OH group in deoxy ribose
3. Remove/Replace 2' OH group with some other group in deoxy ribose
4. Both ‘b’ and ‘c’

Discontinuous synthesis of DNA occurs in one strand, because:
| 1. | DNA molecule being synthesised is very long |
| 2. | DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerisation only in one direction (5’ → 3’) |
| 3. | it is a more efficient process |
| 4. | DNA ligase joins the short stretches of DNA |
