Leader And Lagging Strands.....
a: Dna replication lagging strand ~
b: driving down a street with a stop sign every 5 ft

The lagging strand must be replicated in small single strands, while DNA ligase combines the stand together." The article is a fairly clear and creative description of DNA replication.
