Compare the leading and lagging strands during 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

At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces. what is the strand of DNA called?

When the two parent strands of DNA are separated to begin replication, one strand is oriented in the 5' to 3' direction while the other strand is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction. DNA replication, however, is inflexible: the enzyme that carries out the replication, DNA polymerase, only functions in the 5' to 3' direction. This characteristic of DNA polymerase means that the daughter strands synthesize through different methods, one adding nucleotides one by one in the direction of the replication fork, the other able to add nucleotides only in chunks. The first strand, which replicates nucleotides one by one is called the leading strand; the other strand, which replicates in chunks, is called the lagging strand. The lagging strand replicates in small segments, called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are stretches of 100 to 200 nucleotides in humans (1000 to 2000 in bacteria).

What is an end replication problem?

The two strands of a DNA molecule are antiparallel to one another (the backbone of one strand runs from 5'-3' while the complimentary strand runs 3'-5'). Unfortunately, DNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for replicating DNA, can only make DNA in a 5'-3' direction (and read DNA in the 3'-5' direction). Also, it needs a "primer" to give it a place to bind and start replication. So this creates a problem when synthesizing the 3'-5' stand because your enzyme will only synthesize 5'-3'. During replication this is solved by synthesizing small pieces of DNA ahead of the replication fork on the 5'-3' mother strand. Thus we have one daughter strand which is synthesized as a continuous piece of DNA (called the leading strand) and one daughter strand which is synthesized in small, discontinuous pieces (called the lagging strand). However, at the extreme end of the DNA, we run into another problem. The leading stand can be made to the very end, but the lagging strand cannot because you need the RNA primer upstream to begin each piece of the lagging strand DNA but at the end of the DNA there is nothing for this piece to attach to. Thus, the last section of the lagging strand cannot be synthesized and after several rounds of DNA replication, the DNA molecule gets smaller and smaller. This is "the end of replication problem" and it is solved by putting a DNA cap on the ends of DNA called a telomere which does not code for any protein, thus when this information is lost it does not have severe consequences for the cell.

Which strand of DNA transcribes into mRNA?

The strand running in the 3'-5' end will be the one that RNA copies, as this is the direction of transcription
