Okazaki – 2
An Okazaki fragment is a piece of DNA that is made in the opposite direction of the normal strand. It is a part of the new DNA, but has to be glued to other fragments to make a complete strand. An enzyme called ligase sticks them (fragments) together and when it is part of the bigger strand it can be translated into a functional protein. But on its own, it doesn’t code for anything and is a nonsense piece of genetic information.
Like I would be, If i didn’t have my other fragments 
So I guess were all O-frags and MAS is our glue and when we work together we make functional proteins.
Wild analogy.
I know.
