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.
You now know that Okazaki fragments are the fragments of DNA that are created when the complementary strand to the lagging strand is created. They occur because of the fact that the lagging strand is exposed in the 3' - 5' direction, while DNA synthesis has to occur in the 5' - 3' direction.ou now know that Okazaki fragments are the fragments of DNA that are created when the complementary strand to the lagging strand is created.
