Strand replication direction copied fork this read leading

Text	The leading strand in each replication fork is the strand that is copied in a continuous fashion, in the same direction as the advancing replication fork. This parental strand will be read 3' to 5' and its complement will be synthesized in a 5' to 3' manner. The lagging strand is the strand that is copied in a direction opposite the direction of the replication fork. This side has a 5' to 3' polarity, which the DNA polymerase cannot read
