Vedclass · Answer

(B) $DNA$-dependent $DNA$ polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes a new $DNA$ strand by adding nucleotides to the growing chain.This enzyme specifically adds nucleotides to the $3'$-$OH$ end of the growing strand.Therefore,the polymerization process always occurs in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction relative to the new strand being synthesized.This directionality is essential for the proofreading activity of the enzyme.
