7. Name the protein that is responsible for the formation of RNA primer?
A. Topoisnomerase
B. gyrase
C. helicase
D. primase​


Sagot :

Answer: D. Primase

Explanation:

Primase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA primers, oligonucleotides that are complementarily bound to a nucleic acid polymer. Primase is required because DNA polymerases cannot initiate polymer synthesis on single-stranded DNA templates; they can only elongate from the 3′-hydroxyl of a primer.
