   Linked via "antiparallel"

   Directionality and Priming
   DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA/) in the $5'$ to $3'$ direction. Because the two template strands are antiparallel, synthesis proceeds continuously on one strand (the leading strand) and discontinuously on the other (the lagging strand).
   Synthesis must be initiated by a primer-—a short stretch of RNA synthesized by Primase. The p…
