Correct Answer: DNA Polymerase III
Description: On 5’----> 3’ Strand (Lagging Strand/Discontinuous Strand/Retrograde Strand).
Synthesized in discontinuous manner.
Small fragments of DNA are in short spurts of 100–250 nucleotide (1000–2000 bp in prokaryotes) called Okazaki fragment synthesized in 5’ --- 3’ direction.
By DNA Polymerase III in prokaryotes.
By DNA Polymerase δ in eukaryotes.
