Leading strand
The leading strand is the DNA strand at the opposite side of the replication fork from the lagging strand. It goes from 3' to 5' (these numbers indicate the position of the molecule in respect to the carbon atoms it contains).

Leading strand
The strand of newly replicated DNA that is synthesised continuously in the same direction as the replication fork. DNA synthesis proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.

On the leading strand, DNA polymerase can make a complementary DNA strand without any hurdles because it goes from 3' to 5'. On the other hand, there is a problem when they are expected to move from the 5' to 3' direction in the lagging strand.

leading strand The DNA strand that, during replication, is synthesized in the same direction in which the replication fork moves. Synthesized in a continuous fashion.

A molecule of a DNA polymerase binds to one strand of the DNA and begins moving along it in the 3' to 5' direction, using it as a template for assembling a leading strand of nucleotides and reforming a double helix.

In this case, the DNA end is formed by annealing of the 3' end of the leading strand with the 5' end of the lagging strand.
Double-strand breaks are formed during meiosis in S.
