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.
Best Answer: Okazaki fragments are the small DNA pieces formed between RNA primers during discontinuous replication on the lagging strand.Basically, because DNA Polymerase can only work in one direction (it needs an open 3' end to add nucleotides to), it can't just add nucleotides to the side that has an open 5' end.est Answer: Okazaki fragments are the small DNA pieces formed between RNA primers during discontinuous replication on the lagging strand.
