(N/A) 						Leading Strand			Lagging Strand							$(1)$ The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction.			$(1)$ The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction.							$(2)$ No Okazaki fragments are formed.			$(2)$ Okazaki fragments are formed here.							$(3)$ $DNA$ polymerase adds new nucleotides towards the $3'$ end. Nucleotides are added one by one via phosphodiester bonds.			$(3)$ $DNA$ polymerase cannot add nucleotides in the direction of strand growth, hence continuous synthesis does not occur.							$(4)$ $A$ single $RNA$ primer is required at the start.			$(4)$ Multiple $RNA$ primers are required for each Okazaki fragment.
