yep. the new double strand is one of the original strands and a new strand
The process of DNA replication is semi-conservative. Which means, in the new (daughter) DNA double helices that are formed, one strand belongs to the parent strand (also referred to as the template strand) and the other is a newly synthesized strand. Subsequently, every new DNA molecule that is formed as a result of the replication process has one original parent strand and one newly synthesized complimentary strand.

leading strand
The complimentary DNA strand is ----> ATGCAA
replicated DNA is made of one old strand and one new strand.

Leading strands are one of the two newly synthesized DNA strands during DNA replication. They are synthesized in a continuous manner in the 5' to 3' direction, following the replication fork. The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the replication fork is moving, allowing for continuous synthesis.

The complimentary DNA strand would be AGCTCTTAGAGCTAA.
3' aatgcccaggtcagtacgct 5' is the complimentary strand.
It would be ATCAGT. A=T T=A G=C C=G for all the DNA sequences the complementary strand would be the opposite.
