Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: A new DNA strand only grows in the 5’ to 3’ direction because the enzyme that adds new bases to a growing strand requires a free 3’ OH group. The sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA is made up of phosphodiester linkages between 3’ OH groups and 5’ phosphate groups.
