Question

during dna replication, dna pol iii synthesizes the lagging strand in segments, called
multiple choice
chargaffs segments.
repeating primers.
okazaki fragments.
replication fragments.
replisomes.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

During DNA replication, the lagging - strand is synthesized discontinuously in short segments called Okazaki fragments.
