- A Transcription
- B Lagging strand DNA synthesis
- C Leading strand synthesis
- D Meiosis only
Correct answer: B. Lagging strand DNA synthesis
Explanation: Okazaki fragments: short DNA fragments on the lagging strand template. DNA polymerase can only synthesize in 5' to 3' direction, so the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously.
