Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -DNA polymerase is the primary enzyme which catalyzes the linking of the 3′ hydroxyl group of the end nucleotide to the 5′ phosphate of nucleotide to be added.
Detailed explanation-2: -During elongation, an enzyme called DNA polymerase adds DNA nucleotides to the 3′ end of the template.
Detailed explanation-3: -These sections are called Okazaki fragments. They are short lengths of DNA that are made by DNA polymerase working for short distances, so it can still work building in the 5’ to 3’ direction. The fragments are bound together by the enzyme DNA ligase in order to complete replication in the lagging strand of DNA.
