DNA Replication of the Lagging Strand: Explanation Followed by Animation

The video tutorial by Kevin Tokoph at Catalyst University explains the synthesis of the lagging strand during DNA replication. It highlights the complexity of the lagging strand compared to the leading strand, which is synthesized continuously. The tutorial details the roles of various enzymes, including DNA primase, DNA polymerase III, DNA polymerase I, and DNA ligase, in synthesizing Okazaki fragments and connecting them to form a complete DNA strand. The process is visually explained, emphasizing the discontinuous nature of lagging strand synthesis.
