What is a okazaki fragment?
Okazaki fragments are only used on the Lagging strand (the one going on 5' to 3' direction) never on the leading one. In fact all that the leading strand uses is the helicase to unwind DNA and DNA polimerase III to form the complementary strand allways in 3' to 5' (the leading strand) direction. The big problem of the laggind strand and the reason that Okazaki fragments exist and all other complementary DNAs (polimerace I, ligase, SSB, primace) is that it runs from 3' to 5'. Now what Okazaki fragments are, is temporary pieces of complementary DNA (iniciated by a primer)that are not joined together, but that later on before it goes back to the helix form will be joined togather by DNA ligase. Here I attache a link to a flash video that will make u understand better! http://www.mcb.harvard.edu/Losick/images/TromboneFINALd.swf

What is the role of DNA ligase in the enlogation of the lagging strand during DNA replication?
it is a linking enzyme essential for DNA replication; catalyzes the covalent bonding of the 3' end of one DNA fragment to the 5' end of another DNA fragment.
Does the following item contain a fragment?
I'm happy to help! Please provide the item you would like me to check for a fragment.
What is the birth name of Bob Okazaki?
Bob Okazaki's birth name is Iwao Robert Okazaki.
What is the birth name of Oliver Okazaki?
Oliver Okazaki's birth name is Oliver Kenji Okazaki.
Where does ssb protein bind on lagging strand or on leading strand?
ssb protein bind to the lagging strand as leading strand is invovled in dna replication and lagging strand is invovled in okazaki fragment formation
