Question

Which of these catalyzes the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template?
A.DNA gyrase
B. DNA ligase
C. DNA polymerase
D. RNA polymerase

Answer 1

Replication is initiated by a virus-encoded protein (called T antigen) that binds to the origin and also acts as a helicase. A single-stranded DNA-binding protein is required to stabilize the unwound template, and the DNA polymerase α-primase complex then initiates DNA synthesis.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Primase. DNA primase is an enzyme involved in the replication of DNA and is a type of RNA polymerase. Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a short RNA (or DNA in some organisms) segment called a primer complementary to a ssDNA (single-stranded DNA) template.
