During DNA replicаtiоn, the leаding strаnd is synthesized cоntinuоusly while the lagging strand is synthesized in Okazaki fragments. A mutation occurs in the gene encoding DNA ligase, reducing its activity by 90%. Additionally, primase function is slowed due to a chemical inhibitor. Which of the following best describes the expected consequences for DNA replication?
