Nucleotides can only be added to a growing strand in the 5'-3' direction. This means one strand will always be synthesized continuously (the leading strand) and one will always be synthesized discontinuously (the lagging strand).
Nukleotider kan bare legges til en voksende streng i 5'-3' retning. Det betyr at en streng alltid vil bli syntetisert kontinuerlig (den ledende strengen) og en vil alltid bli syntetisert diskontinuerlig (den halte strengen).
