Which of the following correctly differentiates a nucleoside from a nucleotide?
1. A nucleoside has a phosphate group attached to the nitrogenous base, whereas a nucleotide lacks a phosphate group.
2. A nucleotide contains only a pentose sugar, while a nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base and phosphate.
3. There is no difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide; they are interchangeable terms.
4. A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base and a pentose sugar, while a nucleotide additionally contains a phosphate group.

The synthesis of DNA is discontinuous on one strand of the replication fork because:
1. DNA molecule being synthesised is very long
2. DNA-dependent DNA polymerase catalyse polymerisation only in one direction \((5' \rightarrow 3')\)
3. It is a more efficient process
4. It help to use DNA ligase
