The short segment of discontinuously synthesized DNA strands are called as
|
|
Small DNA strand
|
|
|
Okazaki Fragments
|
|
|
Continuous strand
|
|
|
All of them
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Okazaki fragments are short sections of DNA formed at the time of discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand during replication of DNA. It is essential as it allows for the synthesis of both the daughter strands required for cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -The continuously synthesized strand is called the leading strand, since its elongation in the direction of replication fork movement exposes the template used for the synthesis of Okazaki fragments (the lagging strand).
