Hello everyone here we have a question saying in DNA replication, the leading strand undergoes continuous replication and the lagging strand undergoes a discontinuous replication leading to small fragmented D. N. A. These fragments are called blank and they are connected to a single continuous strand by blank. So Okazaki fragments are the fragments forum due to semi discontinuous replication of blagging strands. So Okazaki fragments for our first blank is correct. So our answers are A B or C. D N. A. Primer is the shortened click acid sequence, which is the starting point for DNA synthesis. So D is incorrect. D. N. A polymerase catalyze is D. N. A replication and does not help in the transformation of the fragments into a continuous strand. So A is incorrect, DNA like is the enzyme that catalyze is the adhesion of the small fragments into a continuous strand of D. N. A. So DNA like is correct for our second blank, so B is correct. DNA primates catalyze is the formation of a replication board in DNA replication, so C is incorrect but DNA like this is our second blank. So our option here is be Okazaki fragments and DNA like, thank you for watching. Bye!
