r to direct the synthesis of new DNA by polymerase. C) RNA acts as an enzyme that breaks hydrogen bonds between base paired nucleotides. D) RNA stabilizes the DNA molecule on the leading strand while replication occurs on the lagging strand.

The answer is B. Primase produces RNA, making it a type of RNA polymerase. RNA is complimentary to a single strand of DNA.

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process which replicates the DNA in a cell and increases the amount of DNA mediated by the enzymes.

The DNA replication begins when the Helicase enzyme opens the DNA and primase form an RNA molecule with a complementary sequence at 5' end of DNA which acts as a primer. The DNA polymerase can add the nucleotide after it binds the RNA primer as primer provides it's 3'-OH group to bind new nucleotides.

Since RNA molecule acts as a primer in the replication process to which the new nucleotides will be added, therefore, the Option-B is the correct answer.

<h2>DNA </h2>

Explanation:    

1) Experiment done by Griffith:

  • Griffith used two related strains of bacteria, known as R and S
  • R bacteria were nonvirulent, meaning that they did not cause sickness when injected into a mouse whereas mice injected with live S bacteria developed pneumonia and died
  • Griffith tried injecting mice with heat-killed S bacteria (that is, S bacteria that had been heated to high temperatures, causing the cells to die), the heat-killed S bacteria did not cause disease in mice
  • When harmless R bacteria were combined with harmless heat-killed S bacteria and injected into a mouse, not only did the mouse developed disease and died, but when Griffith took a blood sample from the dead mouse, he found that it contained living S bacteria
  • Griffith concluded that the R-strain bacteria must have taken up what he called a transforming principle from the heat-killed S bacteria, which allowed them to transform into smooth-coated bacteria and become virulent

2) Experiment done by Avery:

  • Avery, McCarty and MacLeod set out to identify Griffith's transforming principle
  • They began with large cultures of heat-killed S cells and, through a long series of biochemical steps progressively purified the transforming principle by washing away, separating out, or enzymatically destroying the other cellular components
  • These results all pointed to DNA as the likely transforming principle but Avery was cautious in interpreting his results
  • He realized that it was still possible that some contaminating substance present in small amounts, not DNA, was the actual transforming principle

3) Experiment done by Hershey and Chase:

  • Hershey and Chase studied bacteriophage, or viruses that attack bacteria
  • The phages they used were simple particles composed of protein and DNA, with the outer structures made of protein and the inner core consisting of DNA
  • Hershey and Chase concluded that DNA, not protein, was injected into host cells and made up the genetic material of the phage
