Identify the incorrect statement regarding DNA replication:
1. The main DNA replication enzyme is referred to as DNA-dependent DNA polymerase since it uses a DNA template to catalyse the polymerisation of deoxynucleotides.
2. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates act as substrates and provide energy for polymerisation reactions.
3. Since the two strands of DNA cannot be separated in their entire length, the replication occur within a small opening of the DNA helix, referred to as the replication fork.
4. The DNA-dependent DNA polymerases catalyse polymerisation only in one direction, that is 3'→5'.
