In DNA replication, the two DNA strands acting as templates need to be synthesized simultaneously. DNA polymerase is an enzyme which can synthesize the DNA only in 5' to 3' direction.the two template strands are anti-parallel to each other and their complementary strands are synthesized in different direction. In one of the strand DNA is synthesized continuously by adding nucleotides at 3'-OH end. this is referred as 'leading strand' synthesis. the other strand to be synthesized is replicated in short fragments referred 'Okazaki fragments' named after their discoverer Reiji Okazaki.

What fragments of DNA produced from the lagging strand that must be joined called?
Okazaki fragments
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
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.
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 fragments are sections of DNA made on the lagging strand?
okazaki fregments
What are the small segments synthesized in the lagging strand of DNA?
Okazaki fragments
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.
