Question

When are Okazaki fragments synthesized (A) During continuous replication of DNA (B) During discontinuous replication of DNA (C) In lagging strand of DNA (D) both (B) and (C)​

Answer 1

Answer:

D) both (B) and (C)​

Explanation:

Primase adds RNA primers onto the lagging strand, which allows synthesis of Okazaki fragments from 5' to 3'. However, primase creates RNA primers at a much lower rate than that at which DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA on the leading strand.
