Options

  1. A5→35 \rightarrow 3 direction
  2. B3→53 \rightarrow 5 direction
  3. C3→33 \rightarrow 3 direction
  4. D5→55 \rightarrow 5 direction

Correct answer

A. 5→35 \rightarrow 3 direction

Step-by-step solution

DNA synthesis or replication always proceeds in C5→C3\mathrm{C}_5 \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_3 direction. Both the strands replicate by the addition of nucleotide monomer in C5→C3\mathrm{C}_5 \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_3 direction.
