In bacteria, a _______ is formed when a ________ associates transiently with a _______.
A)primosome, helicase, DNA polymerase
B)primosome, helicase, primase
C)ribosome, helicase, primase
D)helicosome, primosome, DNA polymerase
E)primosome, helicase, DNA ligase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In bacteria, a primosome is formed when a helicase associates transiently with a primase. The helicase helps to unwind the double-stranded DNA while the primase synthesizes short RNA primers that are necessary for DNA polymerase to begin replicating the DNA strand. Therefore, the correct answer is B, where the options mention the formation of a primosome with a helicase and a primase.
