Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, 1000-2000 nucleotide long Okazaki fragments are synthesized on the lagging strand to maintain the bidirectionality and continuity of replication. Primers are short RNA fragments that are synthesized on both the leading and lagging strands to initiate DNA synthesis. However, they are not 1000-2000 nucleotide long strands and are not specific to the leading or lagging strand. Semidiscontinuity refers to the fact that one strand (lagging) is synthesized in fragments while the other (leading) is synthesized continuously, but this is not relevant to the question.
