Initiation of transcription differs from initiation of DNA replication in several ways.One such difference is that transcription does not require
A)GTP or ATP.
B)any enzymes.
C)a primer.
D)a DNA template stranD.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Initiation of replication requires a primer to begin DNA synthesis, whereas transcription does not require a primer. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because GTP or ATP is required for the formation of phosphodiester bonds between ribonucleotides during transcription. Option B is incorrect because transcription requires RNA polymerase enzyme. Option D is incorrect because transcription requires a DNA template strand.
