The enzyme___ adds three nucleotides of DNA in the ___direction when DNA is being semi-conservatively replicated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides in the 5'->3' direction during semi-conservative DNA replication. However, it adds them in groups of three, called a triphosphate, so it effectively adds nucleotides in the 3'->5' direction to the growing strand. DNA polymerase I can also add nucleotides in the 5'->3' direction, but it is primarily involved in removing RNA primers and filling in gaps in the DNA strand during replication.
