What are Okazaki fragments?

Back

Short DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Front

Which strand of DNA contains Okazaki fragments?

Back

Lagging strand.

Front

What is the role of DNA Helicase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA Helicase unwinds the original DNA strand.

Front

What is the function of RNA Primase?

Back

RNA Primase lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

Front

What does DNA Ligase do during DNA replication?

Back

DNA Ligase knits together fragments on the lagging strand.
