Detailed Solution

DNA replication starts from a specific site called origin of recognition. (ORI)

For long DNA molecules, since the two strands of DNA cannot be separated in its entire length (due to very high energy requirement), the replication occur within a small opening of the DNA helix, referred to as replication fork. The DNA-dependent DNA
polymerases catalyse polymerisation only in one direction, that is 5'3' . This creates some additional complications at the replicating fork. Consequently, on one strand (the template with polarity 3'5' ), the replication is continuous, while on the other (the template with polarity 5'3' ), it is discontinuous. 

The discontinuously synthesised fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase.
