The okazaki fragments in $DNA$ chain
A
result in transcription.
B
polymerize in the $3 ' to 5 '$ direction and forms replication form.
C
prove semi-conservative nature of $DNA$ replication.
D
polymerize in the $5^{\prime}$ to $3^{\prime}$ direction and explain $5^{\prime}$ to $3^{\prime}$ $DNA$ replication.
Solution
On template strand which has $5' (R) 3'$ orientation, $DNA$ polymerase synthesizes short pairs on new $DNA$ (about 1000 nucleotide long) in $5' (R) 3 '$ direction and then joins these piece together. These small fragments are called okazaki fragments and new $DNA$ strand made in this discontinuous manner is called lagging strand. Okazaki fragments are joined by means of $DNA$ ligase.
