The mechanism for all template-directed synthesis of any type of nucleic acid involves the following:
 a. Nucleophilic attack of a 3' hydroxyl toward a nucleoside triphosphate, releasing PPi.
  b. Nucleophilic attack of a 5' hydroxyl toward a nucleoside triphosphate, releasing PPi.
  c. Nucleophilic attack of a 3' hydroxyl toward a nucleoside triphosphate, releasing Pi.
  d. Nucleophilic attack of a 5' hydroxyl toward a nucleoside triphosphate, releasing Pi.
  e. More than one of these would work, since the mechanism is not universal.
