  • Genetic Biology

    Therefore, without primase, no DNA synthesis will occur. Remember, primase actually makes a short RNA fragment first, which later gets replaced by DNA. 1d -- Without rNTPs, primase cannot do its job of priming synthesis of the short primers.

  • Discuss different models for DNA replication that were considered by early researchers.

    Once the DNA is unwound an enzyme called primase makes a RNA nucleotide sequence called a RNA primer. This sequence hydrogen bonds to a specific location on the parental strand.
