Differences Between Okazaki Fragments and Lagging Strand
Okazaki fragments are relatively short strands. They are the end products or the newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging strand. A lagging strand is defined as the DNA strand that is replicated discontinuously from the five-foot to three-foot direction.
What is the difference between leading strand and lagging strand?A leading strand is the strand which is synthesized in the 5'-3'direction while a lagging strand is the strand which is synthesized in the 3'-5' direction.
