पर्याय

• 5' → 3'

• 3' → 5'

• 3' → 3'

• 5' → 5'

Answer 1

5' → 3'

Explanation:

The process of DNA replication is continuous on one strand, known as the leading stand but discontinuous on the other, known as the cogging stand. These little segments in the cogging stand are made up of fragments and are synthesised in a 5' → 3' orientation.
