the two strand are antiparallel and the new strand must be formed on the old(parent) strand in opposite directions one of the new strand is formed as a continuous occur in long chain in the 5'_3' directions on 3'_5' strand of dna this is called the leading 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.

How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.
Is RNA polymerase used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction
The continually elongating strand of new dna at one side of a replication fork during dna replication is known as?
The strand of DNA that is being continually created is known as the leading strand. The strand that is being created in sections/loops is known as the lagging strand. The reason that these two strands are created differently is because the two strands of DNA run in different directions (they are anti-parallel). This means that because new nucleotides can only be added in a 5'-3' direction, the two strands cannot be created in the same method.
When was Strands created?

When was Strands of Starlight created?
Strands of Starlight was created in 1989.
Compare the leading and lagging strands during replication?

How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.
Why does Dna have both leading and lagging Strands?
The lagging strand is called the lagging strand because, unlike the leading strand, DNA polymerase can not replicate in a 5' to 3' uninterrupted flow on this strand. Remember, DNA has two strands that run ANTIPARALLEL, one to the other; in other words they run in opposite directions.
