Question

Why is okazaki fragments formed during replication?

Answer 1

Answer:

The okazaki fragments formed during replication enables the replication of the 3' 5' (lagging strand). They are short sequences of DNA nucleotides newly synthesized on the lagging strand. ... Primase generates short strands of RNA that bind to the leading strand of the DNA to initiate replication.

Answer 2

The fragments are synthesize discontinuously and are later linked together by enzyme DNA ligase to create the lagging strand during DNA replication.......and ... Primase generates short strands of RNA that bind to the leading strand of the DNA to initiate replication. So as a conclusion we can say........Okazaki fragments do not form the template for the RNA primers
