The lagging strand is a discontinuously synthesized DNA strand that elongates by means of Okazaki fragments, each synthesized in a 5'→3' direction away from the replication fork.
Il filamento lagging è un filamento di DNA sintetizzato in modo discontinuo che si allunga mediante frammenti di Okazaki, ciascuno sintetizzato in direzione 5′→3′ lontano dalla forcella di replicazione.
