Detailed explanation-1: -During the process of replication the double stranded DNA is separated from each other by the help of enzymes like topoisomerases and helicases. The separated DNA strands form a replication fork, where both the DNA strands get replicated forming a lagging and leading strand.
Detailed explanation-2: -As an important rule we have to know that in nature all polymerases are doing the DNA synthesis in the 5′-3′ direction. The strand that can be replicated according to this rule is the leading strand. The other one is called lagging strand.
Detailed explanation-3: -Among the two newly formed strands of DNA, one is formed continuously in the 5’→ 3’ direction. This is called the leading strand. The other strand which is formed discontinuously as short fragments, is known as the lagging strand.
