The two stands wound together in the DNA can be called any number of names depending on the chemical phenomenon occuring. During replication, the strands are called the leading and lagging strand. During transcription, they are called the sense and the non-sense strands. Basically, both strands are polynucleotides.

Do two DNA strands need to be separated before DNA replication or transcription can occur?

Yes. Also, of the two strands of DNA, only one is the template that will be transcribed, while the other strand is a noncoding strand of DNA.


How many strands of DNA are used to make complementary DNA?

Two strands of DNA are used to make complementary DNA during the process of DNA replication. This involves separating the two original DNA strands and using each as a template to build a new complementary strand.
