The resulting stretch of newly synthesized DNA that is associated with this lagging or discontinuous strand is called an Okazaki fragment. Okazaki fragments, as with DNA replication in general, requires RNA priming, which serves as the beginning of an Okazaki fragment.
The nucleoside that moves from 3' to 5' is called the discontinuous (lagging) strand since DNA polymerase III cannot continuously add nucleotides in that direction. Instead, primase adds RNA bases in several places along the growing strand, enabling DNA polymerase III to add DNA nucleotides between them.
