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 fragments are sections of DNA made on the lagging strand?
okazaki fregments
Okazaki fragments are joined together by?
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.
What stand of DNA replicated in okasaki fragments?
The lagging strand of DNA contains okazaki fragments, which are later joined by DNA ligase
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
Name the enzyme joining Okazaki fragments?
DNA ligase.
What are DNA fragments that have attached RNA fragments called?
Okazaki fragments.
What is okazaki?
okazaki fragments are new pieces of Dna On the lagging strand
What is another name for stranded?
Okazaki fragments
What fragments of DNA produced from the lagging strand that must be joined called?
Okazaki fragments
What is another name for lagging strands?
Okazaki fragments
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 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.
What are the small segments synthesized in the lagging strand of DNA?
Okazaki fragments
What fragments are sections of DNA made on the lagging strand?
okazaki fregments
What is role of the DNA ligase in DNA replication?
It joins Okazaki fragments
How long are the base pairs of Okazaki fragments?
50 base pairs
Which strand (leading or lagging) will have the okazaki fragments?
The lagging strand.
