Question

Length of Okazaki fragments in eukaryotes ranges between ____________ nucleotides.

• A. 100 – 400
• B. 400 – 800
• C. 800 – 1200
• D. 1200 – 1600

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 100 – 400

The length of Okazaki fragment varies in between 100 – 400 nucleotides in eukaryotes. The length of Okazaki fragments in bacteria is about 1000 – 2000 nucleotides. They are the transient intermediates in lagging strand DNA replication.
