During DNA replication Okazaki fragments are joined together by DNA polymerase.
Remember that Okazaki fragments start with an RNA primer so RNAse H is need to remove the primer follwed by DNA plymerase to add nucleotides and finally DNA ligase to seal the single strand nick.

∙ 13y agoWould it be DNA Ligases?? I think that that is what it is...
Thank you..

What stand of DNA replicated in okasaki fragments?
The lagging strand of DNA contains okazaki fragments, which are later joined by DNA ligase
What fragments are sections of DNA made on the lagging strand?
okazaki fregments
At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces what is the strand of DNA?
The lagging stand~Brainly
What are okazaki fragments used to elongate?
Okazaki fragments are used to elongate the lagging strand. These fragments are used as primers for RNA polymerase to fill up the gaps in the newly formed complimentary DNA on the lagging strand. DNA ligase then seals up the gaps.
What DNA replication enzyme attaches okazaki fragments as a continuous strand of DNA?
Ligase joins okazaki fragments to each other to form a continuous strand of DNA
What fragments of DNA produced from the lagging strand that must be joined called?
Okazaki fragments
What stand of DNA replicated in okasaki fragments?
The lagging strand of DNA contains okazaki fragments, which are later joined by DNA ligase
The enzyme that connects the fragments ( Okazaki fragments) are called?
DNA ligase is the enzyme responsible for connecting the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds to join the individual nucleotides together.
What are DNA fragments that have attached RNA fragments called?
Okazaki fragments.
What is DNA ligase functions?
Ligase joins together the Okazaki fragments into a continuous strand of DNA.
What is the function of DNA ligase?
Ligase joins together the Okazaki fragments into a continuous strand of DNA.
What is okazaki?
okazaki fragments are new pieces of Dna On the lagging strand
What is another name for stranded?
Okazaki fragments
What is another name for lagging strands?
Okazaki fragments
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
During DNA replication the short sections of new DNA known as okazaki fragments which are eventually linked together by ligase?
lagging
What are the fragments making up the noncontinuous strand called?
If you are referring to the fragmented lagging strand for DNA replication, the fragments are called Okazaki fragments.
