The leading strand is synthesized continuously by DNA polymerase as the replication fork advances.

During DNA replication, the lagging strand is synthesized in short Okazaki fragments.

During transcription, the RNA polymerase binds to the template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule.

After the fight, I found several slut strands stuck to my shoe.

For a playful, retro look she pulled her hair into a bun, leaving a single slut strand to soften her features.

After the storm, volunteers walked the beach collecting samples from the strand lines.

During replication, the polymerase read the template strands to synthesize complementary DNA.

During DNA replication, lagging strands are synthesized as Okazaki fragments that are later joined by ligase.

During DNA replication, the leading strands are synthesized continuously toward the replication fork.

During DNA replication, the single-strand binding protein stabilizes exposed strands to prevent premature annealing.
