At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces what is the strand of DNA?
The lagging stand~Brainly
What strand needs multiple primers?
The strand that needs multiple primers is the lagging strand during DNA replication. This strand is synthesized discontinuously in short segments called Okazaki fragments, each requiring a separate RNA primer. These primers are essential for initiating DNA synthesis at various points along the lagging strand template. In contrast, the leading strand is synthesized continuously from a single primer.
What letter indicates the strand that will require the function of DNA ligase?
The letter that indicates the strand requiring the function of DNA ligase is "Lagging strand." During DNA replication, the lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments called Okazaki fragments, which need to be joined together by DNA ligase to create a continuous strand.
Does dna ligase help assemble the leading strand?
No, DNA ligase does not help assemble the leading strand. DNA ligase is primarily involved in the final stages of DNA replication, where it seals the nicks in the phosphodiester backbone between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. DNA polymerase is responsible for assembling both the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication.
What are okazaki fragments used to elongate?
Okazaki fragments are used to elongate the lagging strand. These fragments are used as primers for RNA polymerase to fill up the gaps in the newly formed complimentary DNA on the lagging strand. DNA ligase then seals up the gaps.
Which strand in dna synthesis is created in pieces?
The lagging strand
What is lagging strand in replication of DNA?
The two strands of DNA in animal cells are arranged backwards to each other - the start of one is paired with the ending of the other. However, the enzyme that replicates DNA (DNA polymerase) can only work from start to finish. On one strand, DNA polymerase can work front to back in a continuous chain - the strand that allows this is called the leading strand because it "leads" in completion status. On the other strand, the DNA polymerase has to work backwards in pieces and then put the pieces back together into a single chain - the strand that causes this is called the lagging strand because it "lags behind" the other in completion status.
There is a y shaped replication fork on each side of each replication bubble what are the sides of the replication fork called?
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.
What is okazaki?
okazaki fragments are new pieces of Dna On the lagging strand

At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces. what is the strand of DNA called?
When the two parent strands of DNA are separated to begin replication, one strand is oriented in the 5' to 3' direction while the other strand is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction. DNA replication, however, is inflexible: the enzyme that carries out the replication, DNA polymerase, only functions in the 5' to 3' direction. This characteristic of DNA polymerase means that the daughter strands synthesize through different methods, one adding nucleotides one by one in the direction of the replication fork, the other able to add nucleotides only in chunks. The first strand, which replicates nucleotides one by one is called the leading strand; the other strand, which replicates in chunks, is called the lagging strand. The lagging strand replicates in small segments, called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are stretches of 100 to 200 nucleotides in humans (1000 to 2000 in bacteria).
What strand needs multiple primers?
The strand that needs multiple primers is the lagging strand during DNA replication. This strand is synthesized discontinuously in short segments called Okazaki fragments, each requiring a separate RNA primer. These primers are essential for initiating DNA synthesis at various points along the lagging strand template. In contrast, the leading strand is synthesized continuously from a single primer.
What is the molecule that seals the gaps between the pieces of DNA in the lagging strand is?
The molecule that seals the gaps between the pieces of DNA in the lagging strand is DNA ligase. DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent DNA fragments, joining them together to create a continuous strand.
What is the definition of a lagging strand?
A lagging strand is one of two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, or junction, in the double helix; the other strand is called the leading strand. A lagging strand requires a slight delay before undergoing replication, and it must undergo replication discontinuously in small fragments.
Where does ssb protein bind on lagging strand or on leading strand?
ssb protein bind to the lagging strand as leading strand is invovled in dna replication and lagging strand is invovled in okazaki fragment formation
What are the fragments making up the noncontinuous strand called?
The fragments making up the noncontinuous strand in DNA replication are called Okazaki fragments. These are short DNA fragments that are synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
Which strand (leading or lagging) will have the okazaki fragments?
The lagging strand will have the Okazaki fragments. These short fragments are created as the DNA replication machinery synthesizes the new DNA strand discontinuously in the 5'-3' direction away from the replication fork.
