DNA polymerase III requires a(n)________ for synthesis of DNA to occur.
A)DNA template
B)RNA primer
C)free 3'-OH end of a DNA strand
D)All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase III requires all of these components for synthesis of DNA to occur. The DNA template provides the sequence for the new DNA strand, the RNA primer gives the DNA polymerase III a starting point to begin adding nucleotides, and the free 3'-OH end of a DNA strand is necessary for the DNA polymerase III to add nucleotides in the correct order to form a new DNA strand.
