Which enzyme manufactures a 10-12 base segment of RNA?
A) DNA ligase
B) DNA primase
C) topoisomerase
D) DNA polymerase I
E) DNA polymerase III

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA primase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing a short RNA primer, typically consisting of 10-12 nucleotides, on the template DNA strand during DNA replication. This primer serves as a starting point for DNA polymerase to begin adding nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA polymerase I and III are not involved in primer synthesis, while DNA ligase and topoisomerase are involved in other aspects of DNA replication and repair.
