O The leading complimentary strand is formed continuously, while the lagging strand is formed in fragments that must be linked by ligase. The leading strand is formed first, and the lagging strand is formed shortly thereafter. The completed leading strand consists of RNA, while the completed lagging strand consists of DNA. The leading strand is an exact duplicate of the lagging strand but formed in the opposite direction.
