In a replicating DNA, the strand that is synthesized discontinuously and in the opposite direction to fork movement, as a series of short Okazaki fragments.
The DNA strand synthesized in a discontinuous fashion, 5' to 3' away from the replication fork.
The strand of DNA that is synthesized discontinuously during replication (because DNA synthesis can proceed only in the 5´ to 3´ direction).
In DNA replication, the strand that is synthesized apparently in the 3-to-5 direction, by ligating short fragments synthesized individually in the 5-to-3 direction. (lambda) phage One kind ("species") of temperate bacteriophage. dgal phage carrying a gal bacterial gene and defective () for some phage function.
The new strand of DNA formed in short, discontinuous DNA segments during DNA replication.
the daughter DNA strand that is synthesized in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the replication fork; it is synthesized as a series of fragments that are subsequently joined.
the discontinuously synthesized strand of DNA containing ligated Okazaki fragments
of DNA must grow overall in the 3Â'-5Â' direction and is synthesized discontinuously in the form of short fragments (5Â'-3Â') that are later connected covalently.
the DNA strand which is discontinuously synthesized in direction away from the replication fork.
In DNA replication, the strand that is synthesized apparently in the 3' to 5' direction, but actually in the 5' to 3' direction by ligating short fragments synthesized individually. Strand of DNA being replicated discontinuously. See also leading strand.
In DNA replication, the daughter strand that is synthesized discontinuously.
Newly synthesized DNA strand formed at the growing fork as short, discontinuous segments, called Okazaki fragments, which are later joined by DNA ligase. Although overall lagging-strand synthesis occurs in the 3 direction, each Okazaki fragment is synthesized in the 5 direction. See also leading strand. ( Figure 12-9)
In DNA replication, the lagging strand is the DNA strand at the opposite side of the replication fork from the leading strand. It goes from 3' to 5' (these numbers indicate the position of the molecule in respect to the carbon atoms it contains).
