DNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction during replication by adding new nucleotides to the growing strand in a continuous manner. It reads the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction and synthesizes the new strand in the 5' to 3' direction. This process ensures accurate replication of the DNA molecule.
