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.
Replication on the other strand occurs by the creation of many short segments. This is the lagging strand. On both the leading and lagging strands, DNA replication starts with primase adding a short (3 to 10 base) RNA primer to the template strand.
