The Okazaki fragment moves the lagging strand away from the replication fork 5' --> 3'.

<h3>What does Okazaki Fragment do?</h3>
  • Okazaki fragments are small stretches of DNA formed during discontinuous lagging strand synthesis during DNA replication. They are important because they allow the synthesis of both daughter strands required for cell division.
  • DNA polymerases are enzymes involved in DNA replication. It synthesizes DNA only in the 5'-3' direction. However, double-stranded DNA is antiparallel, so DNA synthesis should occur in both directions. Thus, Okazaki fragments are formed during synthesis of the lagging template strand.
<h3>What is difference between leading and lagging strands?</h3>

The main difference between leading and lagging strands is that the leading strand is the DNA strand that grows continuously during DNA replication whereas the lagging strand grows discontinuously by forming short segments known as Okazaki fragments.

Sedaia [141]
The flooding of half part of the forest have successful separate the population of frogs in that ecosystem into two different set of frogs. This is an example of allopatric speciation, that is, the population become separated as a result of geographical barrier. This separation will make the two set of frog population to become new species. On the long run, the two species may become unable to relate sexually.

The study of the similarities and differences between embryos of different organism
Alborosie
I believe the answer is comparative anatomy. It is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. Similar body parts may be homologies or analogies, such that both provide evidence of evolution. Similarities in embryos are evidence of common ancestry. For example all vertebrates embryos  have gill slits and tails.

Which of the following accurately describes the angiosperm plant life cycle?
scoundrel [369]
<span>C. The anther produces eggs. </span><span>

An angiosperm is a group of plants that consists of herbs, shrubs and trees. The angiosperms bear flowers and fruit. Its' seeds are not naked as they are covered by the fruit wall.
</span>

All angiosperms  produce flowers at some stage in their life. Flowers are important to the angiosperms  because they serve as the reproductive organ for the plant, providing a means for the plant to propagate itself. 

Angiosperms are the largest group of plants on earth. They account for approximately 80% of all known living plants. There are about 270,000 known species of angiosperms that live on the earth today.
