"There's a bundle of uncooked spaghetti and there's clear directionality to that.

VOA: special.2010.12.08

The nucleotide has a directionality, there's an up and a down to it and it's going to turn out the chain that's formed by polymerizing these has a directionality as well and that's important in defining the structure.

核苷酸有方向性,有上端和下端,核苷酸长链,是由核苷酸沿一个特定方向聚合而成的,这在定义结构时很重要

Synthesis always occurs in one direction and that makes sense to you now because you know there's a directionality and the chemistry is different going one way than the other and this DNA polymerase only works on the chemistry going in one direction.

NA复制过程是单向的,现在你们该明白原因了,因为DNA单链有方向性,DNA在两个方向上化学性质不同,DNA聚合酶,只在一个方向上起作用
