The statement 'the leading strand is synthesized continuously and uses 1 RNA primer' is TRUE. It is replicated in the 3' – 5' direction.
The leading strand refers to the DNA template strand that is synthesized in the 3' – 5' direction during DNA replication.
The 3' – 5' direction that occurs during DNA replication is the direction of the replication fork.
RNA primers are short RNA sequences used for the initiation of the synthesis of DNA (DNA replication) both in the leading DNA strand and the lagging DNA strand.
