ssb protein bind to the lagging strand as leading strand is invovled in dna replication and lagging strand is invovled in okazaki fragment formation
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.
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.
The lagging strand
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.
Lagging strand.
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.
Yes, it is true that the elongation of the lagging strand during DNA replication does not require a template strand in the same way that the leading strand does. While the lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments called Okazaki fragments, each fragment is initiated by an RNA primer, which provides the necessary 3' hydroxyl group for DNA polymerase to extend the strand. However, the synthesis of these fragments is still directed by the template strand to ensure accurate base pairing.
No, both will be synthesized in opposite directions
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.
okazaki fragments are new pieces of Dna On the lagging strand
