Question #104865
The enzyme responsible for initiating DNA replication in prokaryotes is:
1. DNA polymerase I
2. DNA polymerase III
3. Polymerase beta
4. Primase
1. DNA polymerase I
2. DNA polymerase III
3. Polymerase beta
4. Primase
Expert's answer
The initiation of the replication process is done by the primase. The primase synthesizes RNA primer for DNA polymerase III, so it can begin the replication process. The right answer is 4.
