Okazaki fragments — DNA replication Okazaki fragments are short molecules of single stranded DNA that are formed on the lagging strand during DNA replication. They are between 1,000 to 2,000 nucleotides long in Escherichia coli and are between 100 to 200 nucleotides … Wikipedia
DNA replication — DNA replication. The double helix is unwound and each strand acts as a template for the next strand. Bases are matched to synthesize the new partner strands. DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies… … Wikipedia
Okazaki fragment — An Okazaki fragment is a relatively short fragment of DNA (with an RNA primer at the 5 terminus) created on the lagging strand during DNA replication. The lengths of Okazaki fragments are between 1,000 to 2,000 nucleotides long in E. coli and are … Wikipedia
