Which of the following describes the synthesis of nucleic acids? Select all that apply. Strands in a double helix are synthesized in an antiparallel orientation. Complementary pairing between purines is required for copying nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are polymerized by the formation of peptide bonds between nitrogenous bases. Deoxyribonucleotides are added to the 3' end of a DNA strand.
