 As the two parental (template) DNA strands separate at a replication fork, each of the strands is separately copied by a DNA polymerase III (orange), producing two new daughter strands (light blue), each complementary to its respective parental strand. Because the two parental strands are antiparallel, the two new strands (the leading and lagging strands) cannot be synthesized in the same way.

each phrase to the appropriate bin depending on whether it describes the synthesis of the leading strand, the synthesis of the lagging strand, or the synthesis of both strands.

1.Dauther Strand Elongates away from replication fork
2. Made continously
3. Only one primer needed
4. Synthesized 5' to 3'
5. Multiple primers needed
6. Daughter Strand elongates, toward replication fork
7. Made in segments.


SO, what i did was
For leading strand i put number 1~3
both- 4
and lagging strand i put number 5-8
but this is wrong. :(
