DNA is replicated with a leading and C) Lagging strand.


This strand requires the usage of Okazaki Fragments in order to maintain the integrity of the DNA replication, but the name of the strand itself is the lagging strand.


The lagging strand is not continuously synthesized, whereas the leading strand is synthesized continuously.
