The mRNA sequence mirrors the sense strand, differing only by uracil replacing thymine.

The biologist carefully mapped the sense strands that connect the peripheral receptors to the brain.

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

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

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

Under the light microscope, the Hechtian strand was visible as a thin tether connecting the plasmolysed protoplast to the cell wall.

During plasmolysis, Hechtian strands tethered patches of the plasma membrane to the cell wall, preserving connectivity.

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

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

During DNA replication, single-strand binding proteins stabilize the unwound DNA to prevent reannealing.
