Question

the okazaki fragments on the lagging strand need to be joined together to create a continuous strand of dna. these fragments are glued together by the enzyme dna ligase. it creates a covalent bond between the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another.

1. okazaki fragments are found on the 　 strand.
2. dna 　 glues okazaki fragments together.
3. a 　 bond is formed by dna ligase between

the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the
group of another

Explanation:

Question 23

From the text, it says "The Okazaki Fragments on the lagging strand...", so Okazaki Fragments are on the lagging strand.

The text states "These fragments are glued together by the enzyme DNA ligase", so the enzyme is DNA ligase.

The text says "It creates a covalent bond between the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another", so the bond is covalent and the group is phosphate.

Answer:

lagging
