Question
There are several reasons why the primase used to make the RNA primer for DNA replication is not suitable for gene transcription. Which of the statements below is not one of those reasons?
Primase initiates RNA synthesis on a single-stranded DNA template.
Primase can initiate RNA synthesis without the need for a base-paired primer
Primase synthesizes only RNAs of about 5–20 nucleotides in length.
The RNA synthesized by primase remains base-paired to the DNA template.

Explanation / Answer
Correct answer:- (b) Primase can initiate RNA synthesis without the need for a base-paired primer
Explanation:- primase work on primer, it can not initiate synthesis of RNA without base paired primer.
