3'-5' is a characteristic feature of DNA-polymerase I. This activity is meant to repair any misparing mistakes that the enzyme may commit during the synthesis, in which the enzyme would reverse its direction by ONE NUCLEOTIDE and excised the mistakenly added nucleotide, the enzyme acts at the phosphodiester bond at the 5 prime.
Whereas the 5'-3' exonuclease activity is an also repair strategy exercised by the DNA polymerase I. However, in this case the polymerase would move in the forwards direction and excise the miss-matched nucleotides at any position regardless with one nucleotide far or so many. This mechanism of repair is well documented in case UV-mutation.

What type of biological molecule is an exonuclease?
Proteins that uses the energy of NTP hydrolysis to separate the DNA strands.
What is the difference between vascular plants and non vascular plants?
It means they do have viens:)<3
Can a DNA molecule reconstruct itself?
See reconstruction means DNA repair rather than replication. Certain polymerases(DNA Pol-1) exibits 3'-5' exonuclease activity by which a mismatched or wrong nucleotide sequence is replaced by accurate one and sealed by DNA ligase enzyme.this is called sealing often involved in reconstruction.

What type of biological molecule is an exonuclease?
Proteins that uses the energy of NTP hydrolysis to separate the DNA strands.
What are the similarities between DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase?
Both RNA and DNA form in the same manner. They add bases to the 3' end of the base to form a polymer.

What is the difference between 2-pentanol from 3-pentanol?
What is the difference between -3 and -3?
Zero. In general, the difference between any number and itself is zero.
What is the difference of -4 and -3?
-1
What is the difference between -3 and 0?
The difference between -3 and 0 is 3 because your not taking anything away from negative 3 and your not adding anything to It either.
What is the difference between -18 and -3?
