The Enzyme Responsible for Replacing RNA Primers with DNA Is

Question

The enzyme responsible for replacing RNA primers with DNA is a type of:
A)DNA polymerase.
B)helicase.
C)topoisomerase II.
D)DNA ligase.
E)DNA replicase.

Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase is responsible for replacing RNA primers with DNA during DNA replication. This enzyme synthesizes the DNA strand by adding nucleotides to the 3' end of the newly forming DNA strand, and also has the ability to remove RNA primers and replace them with DNA nucleotides.
