When DNA replication is taking place,the single DNA strands called _____ unwind and pair with short RNA _____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, the double-stranded DNA molecule unwinds and separates into two single strands. These single strands serve as templates for the synthesis of new complementary strands. Primers made of short RNA molecules are used to initiate the synthesis of new DNA strands. Therefore, the correct choices are templates (single DNA strands) and primers (short RNA molecules).
