1000-2000 Okazaki fragment:
Correct answer: A. Prokaryotes
- A. Prokaryotes
- B. Nucleotide
- C. DNA replication
- D. 2 nm
Explanation
The lagging strand which elongates away from the replication fork, is synthesized discontinuously as a series of short segments that are later connected. These segments, called Okazaki fragments are about 100 - 200 nucleotides long in eukaryotes and 1000 - 2000 nucleotides long in prokaryotes.
