Vedclass · Answer

(C) During $DNA$ replication,the enzyme $DNA$ polymerase cannot initiate the synthesis of a new $DNA$ strand on its own. It requires a short segment of $RNA$ to act as a starting point,known as an $RNA$ primer. The enzyme responsible for synthesizing these short $RNA$ primers is called $Primase$ (a type of $RNA$ polymerase). Once the $RNA$ primer is placed,$DNA$ polymerase can add $DNA$ nucleotides to the $3'$ end of the primer.
