DNA Polymerase synthesize DNA from _:

Correct answer: D. Template DNA

  • A. RNA
  • B. EcoR1
  • C. Template RNA
  • D. Template DNA

Explanation

The main function of DNA polymerase is to synthesize DNA from deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. The DNA copies are created by the pairing of nucleotides to bases present on each strand of the original DNA molecule. During DNA replication, the template is generated by enzymes known as helicases. DNA polymerase then synthesized the DNA using a DNA template.
