  • In DNA one strand is in 5' to 3' direction and another strand is in 3' to 5' direction. The DNA polymerase synthesize the new strand in 5' to 3' direction so one strand is synthesized continuously and other discontinuously.
  • The strand which is synthesized regularly is called the leading strand and the strand which is synthesized in a discontinuous manner is called the lagging strand.
  • The origin of replication is the site in DNA from where the replication starts. It is AT-rich region. So it is important to start replication in the direction of the replication fork.
