A new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication because the "polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3' end" .
DNA replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3' OH group of the growing DNA strand, this is why DNA replication occurs only in the 5' to 3' direction.
DNA polymerase can only add to the 3' end, so the 5' end of the primer remains unaltered. Consequently, synthesis proceeds immediately only along the so-called leading strand.
Hence, the correct answer will be option (B)

Answer:
physical process of atoms or molecules moving apart within a gas or liquid.
Explanation:
<span>All are mutagenic because they cause base substitutions, deaminating agents oxidatively deaminate bases so cytosine converted to uracil and adenine converted to hypoxanthine, uracil pairs with adenine and hypoxanthine pairs with cytosine, alkylating agents donate alkyl group to amino or keto groups altering base pair affinities</span>
Turn off the lights when not in use, turn off all appliances when not used, remove your phone from the charger when its at full charge, heaters and air conditioners should be turned off when not in use, and using a regular sharpener rather than an electric one. Hope this helps. :)
