Introduction:
“DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)” is made up of nitrogenous bases like Adenine, thymine, guanine; cytosine. This nitrogenous base helps in
The lagging strand is one of the two strands of DNA, it is found at the replication fork. Other strand is called leading strand. Okazaki fragments are the short, newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA replication.
