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). They are later removed by RNAse H, and the last ribonucleotide is removed by and synthesized by Pol I. The nick, or a broken phosphodiester bond remaining between the fragments is linked together by DNA ligase.
