Answer #1

DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis of the daughter strand. DNA polymerase can synthesise in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the existing nucleotide chain. Hence DNA polymerase moves along the template strand in a 3' to 5' direction, and the daughter strand is formed in a 5'-3' Direction.

Hope this helps...please rate if this is helpful..thank you
