Answer:One Direction

DNA Polymerase Only Moves in One Direction

Step-by-step explanation:

After a primer is synthesized on a strand of DNA and the DNA strands unwind, synthesis and elongation can proceed in only one direction. As previously mentioned, DNA polymerase can only add to the 3' end, so the 5' end of the primer remains unaltered.
