A 10 nucleotide sequence i.e., RNA primer is constructed by:
Correct answer: B. Primase
- A. Polymerase III
- B. Primase
- C. DNA ligase
- D. Synthatase
Explanation
Primase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA primers during DNA replication. It initiates the synthesis of a short RNA primer complementary to a template DNA strand. This RNA primer provides a starting point for DNA polymerase III to begin synthesizing the new DNA strand.
