Chapter 11.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction

To explain: The strand out of leading and lagging strands that are made discontinuously in the direction opposite to the movement of the replication fork.

Introduction: DNA stands for “Deoxyribonucleic acid”. It is a nucleic acid present in most eukaryotes. DNA is a “double-stranded” molecule. The process of formation of daughter strands from DNA strands is termed as replication of DNA. The newly formed double-stranded DNA contains one daughter strand and one parental strand. DNA replication is semi-conservative in nature.
