Leading vs. Lagging Strands

This is an excellent video to watch if you are having trouble understanding leading and lagging strands. It gives a basic explanation of leading vs. lagging strand replication during DNA synthesis. He goes through all of the basic steps from template orientation to the rNA primer to which enzymes were used where. He also explains Okazaki fragments which were a hard concept for me to grasp. Overall, this video was very helpful in clarifying each of the basic steps in DNA synthesis.
