Okazaki fragments
DNA replication for the lagging strand is discontinuous and away from the replication fork. The small fragments synthesized are called Okazaki fragments and later stitched together by DNA Ligase.

Okazaki fragment
An Okazaki fragment is a relatively short fragment of DNA that is created by primase and Pol III along the lagging strand (see DNA replication).

The resulting fragments are called Okazaki fragments.

Primase
An enzyme that synthesizes ribonucleotide primers for lagging strand DNA synthesis of Okazaki fragments. Polymerizes ribonucleotide triphosphates in the 5' to 3' direction.
Since the DNA strands are antiparallel, and replication proceeds in thje 5' to 3' direction on EACH strand, one strand will form a continuous copy, while the other will form a series of short Okazaki fragments.
