Answer:

False

Explanation:

When a new replication bubble is formed, a leading and a lagging strand are the products of that event. The event is possible due to the semiconservative nature of the DNA replication, because each of the two strands of the DNA is used as a template for the newly complementary DNA strand, therefore the original strand remains intact and the new daughter strand produced can only be of a single unique replication bubble.
