Would it be possible to start synthesizing the daughter DNA strand without assembling the RNA primer first? Why? Why not? A. Yes, because the 3' OH is already present in the DNA strand which will be used as a template. B. No, because the RNA primer which contains the
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
Would it be possible to start synthesizing the daughter DNA strand without assembling the RNA primer first? Why? Why not?
A. Yes, because the 3' OH is already present in the DNA strand which will be used as a template.
B. No, because the RNA primer which contains the free 5' PO4 in its ribose will not be synthesized by primase.
C. Yes, because the 5' PO4 is already present in the DNA strand which will be used as a template.
D. No, because the RNA primer which contains the free 3' OH in its ribose has to be synthesized by primase first.
