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 lagging strand is being synthesized in the opposite direction of the unwinding DNA and therefore can only do so in fragments until more of the DNA is unwound and available for an RNA primer to be put on and then for DNA Pol to bind and synthesize another fragment. Dora Â· 1 year ago. Thumbs up.
