The Okazaki fragments each require a primer made of RNA to start the synthesis. The strand with the Okazaki fragments is known as the lagging strand.

That means that they will never be a copy of their parents because of their different genetic material. Characteristics, such as eye color, hair type and color, the shapes of facial features, and height and build, and attribute the combinations of these to the portions of DNA inherited from each parent which makes them different but still carry the DNA of their parents.
