•the other new strand in the fork must be synthesized in the opposite direction, requiring dna polymerase to
synthesize the new strand in short 5' to 3' segments with periodic starts and stops. this strand is called the
strand; replication of this strand is done in segments called
- named
after the japanese scientist who discovered them.
after both new strands are made, the enzyme dna polymerase then converts the short
_sequences, laid
down by the primase, into
finally, the enzyme
is the "glue that mends all the okazaki fragments resulting in the two double
belix molecules that are identical to each other and to the original molecule.
