The complimentary DNA strand would be AGCTCTTAGAGCTAA.
Ligase joins okazaki fragments to each other to form a continuous strand of DNA
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.

No, DNA ligase does not help assemble the leading strand. DNA ligase is primarily involved in the final stages of DNA replication, where it seals the nicks in the phosphodiester backbone between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. DNA polymerase is responsible for assembling both the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication.
The lagging strand is called the lagging strand because, unlike the leading strand, DNA polymerase can not replicate in a 5' to 3' uninterrupted flow on this strand. Remember, DNA has two strands that run ANTIPARALLEL, one to the other; in other words they run in opposite directions.
The lagging strand will have the Okazaki fragments. These short fragments are created as the DNA replication machinery synthesizes the new DNA strand discontinuously in the 5'-3' direction away from the replication fork.
The lagging 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
which statement about dna replication is correct? A. the leading strand is one of the strands of parnetal Dna b. the leading strand is built continuously, and the lagging strand is built in pieces c. the lagging strand is one of the strands of parental Dna d. Dna ligase helps assemble the leading strand e. the lagging strand is built continuously
Okazaki fragments are the small DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication. They are later joined together by DNA ligase to form a continuous strand.
The DNA polymerase responsible for removing primers and replacing them with DNA on the lagging strand during DNA replication is called DNA polymerase I.
A lagging strand is one of two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, or junction, in the double helix; the other strand is called the leading strand. A lagging strand requires a slight delay before undergoing replication, and it must undergo replication discontinuously in small fragments.
The complimentary DNA strand would be AGCTCTTAGAGCTAA.
DNA ligase functions in the replication of the lagging strand by joining together the Okazaki fragments, which are short segments of newly synthesized DNA. This enzyme helps to seal the gaps between the fragments, creating a continuous strand of DNA.
Ligase joins okazaki fragments to each other to form a continuous strand of DNA
The fragments making up the noncontinuous strand in DNA replication are called Okazaki fragments. These are short DNA fragments that are synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
