DNA polymerase assembles new strands in a \( 5^{\prime} \) to \( 3^{\prime} \) direction only, in a \( 5^{\prime} \) to \( 3^{\prime} \) direction building one strand and a \( 3^{\prime} \) to \( 5^{\prime} \) direction building the other stand. in a \( 5^{\prime} \) to \( 3^{\prime} \) direction building the first half of a strand and a \( 3^{\prime} \) to \( 5^{\prime} \) direction building the second half of a strand. in a \( 3^{\prime} \) to \( 5^{\prime} \) direction on the "old" 3 ' to \( 5^{\prime} \) strand. in a \( 3^{\prime} \) to \( 5^{\prime} \) direction building the first half of a strand and a \( 5^{\prime} \) to \( 3^{\prime} \) direction building the second half of a strand.
