In DNA there are two types of strands, 5'/5 prime, which is the strand, aka the leading strand. 
There is also the 3' strand which is the lagging strand. 
The difference between these two is the the leading strand is discontinous during replication, they must create ozaki fragments.
The other lagging strand can just have the whole strand replicated at the same time
