Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context: Okazaki fragments are related to the process of DNA replication, which involves the synthesis of new DNA strands from a DNA template.

Identify the role of the leading and lagging strands: During DNA replication, the leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized in short segments known as Okazaki fragments.

Clarify the nature of Okazaki fragments: These fragments are composed of DNA nucleotides, not RNA nucleotides, and are synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand.

Differentiate between continuous and discontinuous synthesis: Continuous synthesis occurs on the leading strand, while discontinuous synthesis, resulting in Okazaki fragments, occurs on the lagging strand.

Conclude with the correct statement: Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
