Question. <\/span>Which is true of an Okazaki fragment?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. found on the leading strand, replication in 3\u2019 to 5\u2019 direction<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. found on lagging strand, replication in 5\u2019 to 3\u2019 direction<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. found on the lagging strand, replication in 3\u2019 to 5\u2019 direction<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. shortens the telomere in a chromsome<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. found on leading strand, replication in 5\u2019 to 3\u2019 direction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Answer:- The correct option is 3. found on the lagging strand, replication in 3\u2019 to 5\u2019 direction<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Okazaki fragments are short, nascent synthesized DNA segments that arise on the lagging strand during DNA replication.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    A DNA polymerase can only add new nucleotides to the 3\u2019end of an emerging strand. On the leading strand, synthesis can occur continuously in a 5\u2019 to 3\u2019 direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

    On the laggard strand, however, synthesis occurs in a direction opposite to that of movement of the replication fork. Short stretches of Okazaki fragments are, thus, synthesized in the 3\u2019 to 5\u2019 direction on the lagging strand.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The other options are incorrect:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. Okazaki fragments are not present in the leading strand.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. 3\u2019 to 5\u2019, not the other way around.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. They do not participate in the process of shortening telomere.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. The leading strand synthesizes from 5\u2019 to the 3\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Therefore, the statement that applies to Okazaki fragments is the lagging strand replication process occurs in a 3\u2032-5\u2019 direction.<\/span><\/p>\n
