DNA strand replication begins with an RNA primer. DNA strand replication begins with an RNA primer. True False

Biology
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

true

Explanation:

DNA synthesis is performed by the enzyme DNA polymerase. However, DNA polymerase requires the presence of a free 3' OH on the existing DNA or RNA segment. The enzyme primase forms small RNA segments that serve as primers. Primers are formed by using the DNA template strands and have free 3' OH ends. DNA polymerase extends the primers by adding deoxyribonucleotides according to the sequence of the DNA template strand. Therefore, DNA polymerases are the enzymes of primer elongation.

For traits  to be passed from the parent to the offspring, the DNA in the cell must be duplicated and this happens through the process of cellular reproduction.
