Answer:
So basically the primary distinction between the leading and lagging strands is that the leading strand is the DNA strand that develops continuously during DNA replication, whereas the lagging strand is the DNA strand that grows in small pieces known as Okazaki fragments. A leading strand is one that is produced in the 5'-3' direction, whereas a lagging strand is one that is formed in the 3'-5' direction. The leading strand is constantly produced where the other is not.
