Which piece of replicated DNA is one continuous piece and what speed does it move?
Leading strand, faster
The piece of replicated DNA that is one continuous piece is called the leading strand. The leading strand is synthesized in the 5′-to-3′ direction, which is the same direction as the replication fork is moving. As a result, the leading strand is synthesized continuously in the same direction that the replication fork is moving.
The speed at which the leading strand moves during DNA replication can vary depending on several factors, such as the efficiency of the replication machinery and the size of the DNA molecule being replicated. However, it is estimated that the average rate of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is around 50 base pairs per second.
