DNAP adds free ____ nucleotides to ____ the ____ ends of primers
|
|
DNA, 3’
|
|
|
DNA, 5’
|
|
|
RNA, 3’
|
|
|
RNA, 5’
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During elongation, an enzyme called DNA polymerase adds DNA nucleotides to the 3′ end of the template.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, DNA polymerase III does most of the elongation work, adding nucleotides one by one to the 3’ end of the new and growing single strand.
Detailed explanation-3: -Primase synthesizes RNA primers complementary to the DNA strand. DNA polymerase III extends the primers, adding on to the 3’ end, to make the bulk of the new DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA Polymerase can add nucleotides only to the free 3’ end of RNA primers.
