Question

during replication, the strand is synthesized in short segments known as okazaki fragments. check it

Explanation:

DNA replication is semi-discontinuous. The leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized in short, discontinuous segments called Okazaki fragments because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction, and the lagging strand runs antiparallel to the replication fork movement.

Answer:

lagging
