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.
